Suspended Animation
Can you help me?
Become the man that I once knew
Can you help me?
I am breaking through
I've been gone for far too long
Another day that something has gone wrong
Apologies, that you remember and you remind me
Pulled from the depths we are born in this state of mind

I'm a lost cause with many revisions
And scars left over from the excess incisions

I lament being lost in the echo
Breathing pestilence as I begin to choke
My lungs restrict eclipsing burning orchids
Where the air is thin
Lost gospels spoken in the clouds of smoke

And I lay in the river of consciousness
Tracing the glass, intersecting sea and sky
I navigate the sands and drain the hourglass
And do all I can to try and fucking stem the tide
Agony, illuminates the canvas
Self-regret ignites a burning twilight
Misery, my un-ending companion
Holds the torch and guides me through the night

I rest my head in the hands of sorrow
I gave all I had, I'm giving in
The cold embrace leaves my heart beating hollow
And still I say, yet still I say

Close my eyes
Transcending sea to sky
When they pull the tide over me
Close my eyes
Transcending sea to sky
When they pull the tide over me

Disdain encapsulates
Petrified feelings
Haunt the meanings I find in my inner-sanctum
Grasping for the reasons
Of my inner-self, I've tried
And still I dare not meet the eyes of

My mistakes
Malevolance, it plants the roots of my mind's self-castration
And this entity awakes
Release suspended animation
Pull me under until our eyes don't meet
I will end myself
Just save yourself
Pull me under until our eyes don't meet
I will end myself
Just save yourself

Close my eyes
Transcending sea to sky
When they pull the tide over me
Close my eyes
Transcending sea to sky
When they pull the tide over me

Can you help me? Become the man that I once knew
My body's broken
Lost faith in me, I'm bleeding through
