Stranger we become through the blurred lens of violence
Visions drained of color and sound
Sometimes, I don't recognize the monster looking back at me
And in the mirrors of my own sanity I try and gracefully look away as often as I can
An outsider in my own skin
A deteriorating sense of hope and all the music I have ever heard
Erased from my memory forever
Lost. I find myself wandering the halls of regret
Not knowing what door to open
Or what staircase to fall down
Hush. Eerie silence in the dawn of a new world
It ends abruptly and I can hear the sound of gunpowder exploding
From shells and gla** shattering all around me
Sinew on fire, muscles bleeding out of time
And there's an unfamiliar woman sitting next to me
In a car that I don't remember falling into
A melody is blaring through my insides, shattering me awake
Wailing and shaking, we are driving on the curb of my own mistakes and I fear
This may be my last night on earth
