Leaving One Hell For Another
Reminiscent of a misguided illusion
I still claw my way up the walls of the abyss
The abyss that I alone carved
Breathing has become so labored
But all I once knew smolders beneath me: burning away so furiously
I can’t curb my demons
I feel a shadow stir within the hollows of my heart
And writhe amid the shallows of my mind
It will leave me blind to anything but its face
Jesus, this suffering is too much to bear
Memories from the maw of hell lives within my mind
Lingers in my veins
I wait for the light to dissipate, for reality to slip away once again
If only I could bleed out all the things I’ve felt
’Cause they never leave
I am a world that sows seeds of anger, hatred and discontent
And reap a crop of violence, discord and evil intent
My starving soul cries out to be fed
To be comforted
To feel alive
To feel anything other than this
If there is a way out, it feels lost to me right now
’Cus no matter how far I come, it only feels like I’m
Leaving one hell for another
I’m leaving one hell for another
But I won’t stop moving
I won’t admit defeat
Because in my heart I can feel
Something or someone is waiting for me
