Monuments - Deadnest

Violent thoughts permeate the air
On a flooded vessel beyond repair
I’m plagued by silent fights and vindictive stares
Dreaming of a place anywhere but here
Lost in despair
Forever altered I’m sinking into
The wretched abyss that was once my home
But what can I do?
Keep drowning it out
The stifled voices of reason
Are barely audible
Our bodies covered in lesions
Am I responsible?
Poison myself pass the time
Feeding toxic habits to ease my mind
I’m bleeding from the inside, but out of sight
Screaming into the night for answers why
Living a lie
Forever altered I’m sinking into
The wretched abyss that was once my home
But what can I do?
Keep drowning it out
Choke on the lies of the chosen one
Or sever the ties that are bound by blood
The lines are blurred (search for direction)
The mind is lost to indecision
Imprisoned, a vision
That faded into nothingness
The lines are blurred (sift through the wreckage)
The mind is lost to indecision
Imprisoned, a vision
That faded into nothingness
Another day
Another sense to dull
Can’t run away
A path I’m meant to crawl
Forever altered I’m sinking into
The wretched abyss that was once my home
But what can I do?
Keep drowning it out
We’ll carry onward
Ignoring the wounds
Inflicted by instruments of our own
Denial consumes
It’s breaking me down
The stifled voices of reason
Are barely audible
Our bodies covered in lesions
And I am responsible
