lyrics

I can feel it
Clawing at my neck
Colder and colder
The clock slowly ticks
With each move I make
I pray it’s my own
Not the trauma that puppets
Destroying my home

Bitter hypocrite
Leeching parasite
Writhe from within
With each move I make
I fight to cut loose
These strings that hold me
Control consume

I finally found a place
To go and lay my head
Just to find myself
Upside down again

I finally found a place
To go and lay my head
Just to find myself
Upside down again

Gasping, losing breath
Deeper and deeper
Sink into the depths
Pulled down from the earth
Drowned in this shell
Trapped upside down
Embalmed in hell

I’ll sway by these puppet strings
Just a husk, in eternal daze
Close my eyes to dream of the end
Just to find I’m back here again
Upside down again

I finally found a place
To go and lay my head
Just to find myself
Upside down again

I finally found a place
To go and lay my head
Just to find myself
Upside down again

Burning through these words of safety
An endless cycle, cannot break free
Repeating traumas, no sign of the end
Thrown upside again and again and again
