The Gabriel Construct - Curing Somatization lyrics

I open my eyes to see this city collapse around me I shut them again seeking return to the safety of sleep. Falling rubble k**s all vacancy. Clinging to these crumbling constructs leads to nowhere. I can hide no longer, and I can run no further. I am surrounded by myriad beings all spewing virulent words about me. They’re relentless. They seek to suppress me and delete my power. I could not sleep – restless stagnation forced me out of every dead end. Hell follows me – all of these demons have worn down every last defense. These beings come from me. They are my thoughts, hidden in disguises. I’ve only been running from myself I am here to keep myself safe from all of the people out there who will hurt me. I am here to keep everyone safe from what is inside me. I built this city to hide. What if all of the words that trap me here are written on this city’s foundation? sponsored links I wander through the rubble, searching for some sort of entrance Below the tallest building, the deepest basement is hiding I open the door, terrified to see things I’ve locked away and have forgotten. What makes me a threat to myself and to all those around me? In trying to create something, I destroy what’s beautiful. I try to save and I k** instead. In trying to prevent sickness, I would make it manifest. I have poisoned my own children over and over again. I strive for love but I’m in hate’s grasp Fear is my one form of wealth Repeating thoughts I have magnified Why do I torture myself? Erosion of confusion I forgive you for all that you have done. Corrosion of illusion I forgive myself for choosing hell. This city can’t control all that I see. This city has no power over me. It’s taken on a life of its own. And I can let it go. I AM ALIVE! Welcome home! This is your home now. Step outside – You’re not alone.
