The Blister Has a Heartbeat

Obsessive skin
Persuasive thoughts
It tastes of flesh, desire, and wrath

It's hopeless!
(It drags you down despite your pride)
Your hollow shows

Your sting is growing
(Your father was desensitized)
It saturates your glow

This feeling brings you back
Routine is waiting for permission

Just feel the quiet, close your eyes
You lay there paralyzed
Getting what you've earned

You swear it'll be the last time
As always

You're hopeless!
(It drags you down despite your pride)
Your hollow shows

Your wounds are open
(Your father was desensitized)
This is the world you know

(If you consider yourself on your back)
(And ... at the end of the day)
(When your father dropped you)
(Or it hurts to go to sleep with your conscience at bay)

(What's become of you!)
(And the skin beats on)
(Become so ...)

Is it dark enough to see what you've become
Now that everyone is gone?
The time for confrontations come without your control
... should be embraced to carry on

Your life is on the line, it's almost over now
You're getting closer now
You're getting closer now

Defeated by the lies, it's almost over now
You're getting closer now
You're getting closer now

Defeated
(...)
By the silence
(...)

Defeated by the lies, it's almost over now
You're getting closer now
You're getting closer now
