Peel away the sickness from the skin

Digging further in to flee my cage

I force the cure in deeper and twist

Need to find a way to feel at ease

I don’t wanna be here

Yet the thought of leaving fills my veins with fear

And longing

So I have to empty them

It’s the closest to the end I can bear

To tread

I burn the thoughts of hatred as I carve

Keep away the deathwish, hope it starves

Shave away the layers of excess pain

Nothingness is leaking from my brain

I don’t wanna be here

Yet the thought of leaving fills my veins with fear

And longing

So I have to empty them

It’s the closest to the end I can bear

To tread

To tread

Pure elasticity

It pulls me further from me

Stretched so thin, I could cut it open

The harder I pull

The tighter it tugs on my throat

I don’t wanna be here

Yet the thought of leaving fills my veins with fear

And longing

I don’t wanna be here

Yet the thought of leaving fills my veins with fear

And longing

So I have to empty them

It’s the closest to the end I can bear

To tread

To tread
