Lyrics:

You will never Cease to seek validation Desperation grows Lower than my lowest lows Trapped inside Where I hide You will never know You will never ever know Bitch Panic sets in As I envision the abyss I’ve crept in Don’t come back here Turn away knowing none can go near Memorize this Strict warning from a fucking bastard Misery lives And she will hunt you till it’s all that makes sense Another day, my friend Into the mirror I descend Reenact these reactions Duplicate the appearance of passion Act up as a weapon of distraction When deep down my nerves strike up like matches And I’ll never leave this State of mind. I’ve tried. It’s useless. It’s useless I remain afflicted Forever suspicious Of anyone that listens Knowing well I’m nothing worth fixing My tongue is a shovel It dug deep. Bringing you to my level Another day, my friend Another day I must suffer to pretend That this shit doesn’t kill me That I’m fine and no lover to misery My own friends don’t visit me I know why. No one Ever wants my company It’s all there My mirror Medusa, my master My secret. My slave. My captor From birth through death and forever I won’t let you walk away yet I take your steps as a fucking threat My warning is a fucking threat
