my mind is occupied by demons
they whisper to me in a way I wish I wouldn't like
the blood in my veins is slowly heating up, I feel it burning
my head is split in two
one part is struggling to stay, the other's set to go
you barely think, you tongue seems poisoned
the words that flow out of your mouth, they hit right in her chest
a women that claimed to never become just like her mother
how can you drop that weight and slowly vanish to a place where I can't follow you
oh god I just feel my body working like a machine
repeating games of how you drop, collapse in this routine
no control of your former self or who you think you used to be, it's all I see
you say you want it all to end here
well do you listen to yourself?
you say you've lost your faith in everyone, well, do you even trust yourself?
and they way your voice keeps shaking in this warm mid-summer rain
it's like you're twisting, turning but never learning how to love yourself ever again
I can't swallow this again
you say you want it all to end here
well, did you ever think of me?
and how I'd cope with such a curse like this
but the way my voice keeps shaking in this warm mid-summer rain
it‘s like I‘m twisting, turning but never learning how to love myself ever again
