Lyrics
Failure of the organs
Of the systems, of the signs
My rebirth immortalized through
Insoluble lines
I’m grateful for the markings
They show I didn’t lie
Remind me that the hurt was not
From senses gone awry
Hydra memories
Sharing body but not mind
Pain is multitudinous
Each layer misaligned
Identity behaves so strangely
Staring death in the eye
But I know who I am when I’m in pain
When I’m acidified
On the days where I can feel my body fighting to survive
I swallow all the missing links, pretend to know the reason why
Everyone around me seems to live a version of this life
Waiting for their cure-all answer to arrive
Mystery is torturous
A specialized design
Livable but strong enough
To keep you occupied
Aching with unknowing
It’s breaking down my pride
I can’t seem to stop it
Pulling focus from all sides
Poisoned from within
You offer them to me
A bottle full of promise
And relief from malady
Wash them down with air
Intake under duress
Look me in the eyes and tell me
All this stems from stress
You don’t care to look
There’s no evidence on my skin
But time is running out for me
Look closer, look in
I keep the monster under wraps
To keep my dignity in tact
But it’s slipping through the cracks
Far too lethal to hold back
On the days where I can feel my body fighting to survive
I swallow all the missing links, pretend to know the reason why
Everyone around me seems to live a version of this life
Waiting for their cure-all answer to arrive
