Calm me chaos, twisted and shattered
Fragmented pictures, violent seizures
Watch me come down, the shaking
The craving, the eyes dilated wide while
You're breaking, the quiet screams of the addict
The dying dreams of sobriety
The desecrated tomb, the lacerated truth
The whole world in the palm of your hand
Watch me crush, consume, distrust and displace
Youth, the corruption of view, the white noise
That creeps into your voice
When they're all screaming at you
Give me a choice, fallen and exhumed
Unkept, off-center, an asylum of differing truths
The paranoid schizophrenic, sentenced to the company
Kept in your head, the voice relentless
Reminding me, binding me, my hands won't come clean
The blood dream, where we were all deceived
By hatred, we called it a statement
When we burned everything
We called it chaos, but it played us
So confidently, now we're left with the pieces
The remnants of arrogance and talent
That brought us to the brink, and encouraged us to leap
Head first, we earned our freedom in death
Now wondering how we might breathe again.
