Scanner-01

I've been cracking, caving in on myself,
Inching closer and closer to my last farewell,
I've been cracking, caving in on myself,
I'm on a hollow high and I can't come down

The lights flicker, and I lay exposed,
The digital sun leaves me colder,
Still spiralling, I'm a danger to myself,
It's been years and i'm still drowned in the sound of static,
The sound of the scanner,
So I bite my nails until my fingers bleed,
Because i'm face to face with the worst part of me,
Drowning in cliches, and embedded in sleep,
I peel of this mask and let the wound weep

I've been cracking, caving in on myself,
Inching closer and closer to my last farewell,
I've been cracking, caving in on myself,
I'm on a hollow high and I can't come down

And so I whisper to myself;
This is only the beginning, just close your eyes,
You can't block out the visions but they'll go away in time,
Grit your teeth and grind them to dust, the clock is stopped,
Look around, we're all lost,
Look around, we're all fucked,
Just look around we're all fucked

Pushing and pulling,
I push and pull, I tear myself apart,
Buckling against the motion, the scanner sees into my heart

I've been cracking, caving in on myself,
Inching closer and closer to my last farewell,
I've been cracking, caving in on myself,
I'm on a hollow high and I can't come down,
And I can't come down,
And I can't calm down
