Narcoisis - The Autumn Offering

Submit to the numbness of narcotic sleep

It dulls my eyes and dilates under the expanse of gray skies

The dark comes to surface, in my dreams the world burns

Falling like prisms, turned numb to the pain

Like my father spit on me tell me how worthless I am

As daylight filters leaves

She wept so many tears for me of desperation

Forgive me father, forsaken have been left to die

The walking dead surround me, the hubris of our shame

Sleepwalkers and the lemmings of modern day

And I’m sorry I always pushed you away

Please let me go

Cradled in its grip with a gun up to my head

Stomach aches, skin is white, I’m always back for more

You wanted to live

Time lapsed while I couldn’t breathe

Inspiration has died and nothing makes me feel alive

Time, time lapsed while I couldn’t breathe

As we slowly fade away in the end your all buried to me

If callous hearts collide could I reopen the wounds left scarred?

To let those emotions bleed of the ghost that’s left of me

Cradled in its grip with a gun up to my head

Stomach aches, skin is white, I’m always back for more

You wanted to live

Time lapsed while I couldn’t breathe

Inspiration has died and nothing makes me feel alive

Time, time lapsed while I couldn’t breathe

As we slowly fade away in the end your all buried to me
