Hold up, you can't go out the front door alone
Speak with nothing to say
Please don’t leave this home alone
A lone prey, painting you grey
A sidewalk with a face and footsteps etching out what happens next
If I may, I’ll slip into your mind and paint the fear inside of you
Under the bed, or in the basement
Filling the spaces and blurring the faces
The feelings spread, taking you places, beginning to feel like the end
Never waking up
Your mind is merciless and meant to break your trust
Sweet sanguine sertraline dreams
No relief found at the end of the tragedy
Contemplate dying, take a pill and go back to sleep
Yeah, go to sleep
Stare through the glass, and pick out your favorite
My fears have been calling so I’ll entertain them
Surrounding the house, the framework’s collapsing
Never sustainable, always relapsing
I’m tired of living, I’m terrified of leaving
Anxiety swells as the medicine’s screaming
“Hold up, you can’t go out the front door alone”
Administered love, self destructive embraces
Retracing my footsteps in circular paces
When you break down my door and I’m drinking alone
Automatic apologies are climbing up my throat
With that poisonous rain, it just pours, and I pour
‘Till my head is a cloud crying back onto the floor
Wake up, how did I ever make it back here alive?
Still have nothing to say for myself at all, just whatever it takes to escape
A lone prey, painting you grey
I am the predator eating myself alive like a snake
The jaws expand around me, sink deep, taste the blood while my vision’s blacking out
Go to sleep
