Nightmare From My Past
Like a cockroach your self-righteous nature Serves as a testament to your follies All sense of romantic love you denature The destruction you’ve caused comes in volleys You’re an all-consuming wave of hate A poison that manifests while I breathe Like the accursed punishment of fate So, with a katana I have unsheathed Out of my existence you shall be cut Purified by an indomitable will I have a suspicion within my gut Happiness inside my heart I will fill Freed from these chains you have recklessly cast But a horrifying dream of my past
Lost in my mind Words I cannot find Everything feels so broken Too many things left unspoken My life is a cloudy haze A whirlwind of destruction My dreams burning in a blaze Goals under deconstruction Burning down in a fire Life has never seemed so dire Let me see the light And find a reason to fight Burning from the inside Hope I cannot provide Death comes my way Please just blow me away
Slow down, take it back Not even sure what you're mad at I’ve done all I can, baby Chance after chance Like a ticket machine I always spit them out Well now, baby, the machine Has broken Run out of paper And patience The gate is staying closed Slow down, take it back Not even sure what you're mad at Feels like you never loved me anyway Held at arm's length, from a distance I watched you put your effort Into work, friends, hobbies But never me Slow down, take it back Do you even know what you're mad at? I’ve done all I can, baby Tried my best to make this work Through hell and high water Now, baby, it's on you Slow down, take it back If you want to keep me, That is
Get over yourself. You’re nothing special, just another bitching soul. Your existence isn’t necessary. You’re here on borrowed time, simply another fly on the wall. Those people who “love” you? Love the convenience of you not the person you are. You’re second string. The backup plan, the last resort. Nothing you ever do will change that You are so fucking pathetic.
Your such a fucking fool Thinking life was going to improve How could you possibly think Your life meant anything? We’ve been through this song and dance This, bullshit self improvement spell This, bullshit since of self worth Its all fucking fake. Every bit And you know it You know your place In this desolate world Remember it, don’t forget it again Your only going to hurt yourself more If you try, if you put in effort You poor pathetic fucking fool
You might as well be a bridge For the way everyone walks over you Step, by step, person by person The footprints have stained your mind Like a convenience store for love You might as well be a stepping stone For the way people jump on you Hop, by hop, body by body The vibrations have destroyed your mind A house hit by an earthquake You might as well be a side character For the way people run past you Mile, by mile, friend or foe Continue to stare at their backs A dog without a bone
