Neurosis

When you wake up I'll be there

When you wake up I'll be there

When you wake up I'll be there

When you wake up I'll be there

I can feel them talking

Timbral evocation

My instincts telling me to run and never come back

This home is now my hell

Decrepit holding cell

The fiend within the halls is out and on the attack

Telltale pounding

Tear it out

Blood surrounding

As I count

Down come the walls around me

I can hear them slipping through the cracks

No safety in the shadow

Now down the spiral I go

I am alive

But it doesn't feel quite right

Trapped beneath the floorboards

As I kiss my sense of self goodbye

When you wake up I'll be there

A cautionary story

Cessation auditory

Melodic epitaph inscribing my own demise

It's getting louder and louder with every step it takes

I'll disavow every mistake I've made before It's too late

You will never leave

Maelstrom guaranteed

Down come the walls around me

I can hear them slipping through the cracks

No safety in the shadow

Now down the spiral I go

I am alive

But it doesn't feel quite right

Trapped beneath the floorboards

As I kiss my sense of self goodbye

They keep me warm just to

Wrap the wool around my eyes

I do the things I do

Just to keep myself alive

Your mine

Rest

In

Peace

Down come the walls around me

I can hear them slipping through the cracks

No safety in the shadow

Now down the spiral I go

I am alive

But it doesn't feel quite right

Trapped beneath the floorboards

As I kiss my sense of self goodbye

They keep me warm just to
