lyrics

I can't escape, you're in my blood,
This imagery is torturous,
It's consuming me,
It's too clear, too sharp, too cutting,

I'm not really here,
And I'm not the same,
It keeps coming back, and I can't shut it off, and it won't let me go,
This hole in my chest,
Sequential, recurring, numb, empty, alone.

I've made a whore out of recalling,
Decompressing all my warnings,
This masochistic nostalgia machine does nothing to console me,
I hallucinate you,
Shut it off, just fucking shut it off!

I'm not really here,
And I'm not the same,
It keeps coming back, and I can't shut it off, and it won't let me go,
This hole in my chest,
Sequential, recurring, numb, empty, alone.

How the hell'd I wind up in this mess?
(Which roads, which paths?)
You're the only thing I've got left,
(And you're haunting my mind!)
Every step I take I see ghosts,
(And they're following me.)
Get the fuck out of my bones!

I'm not really here,
And I'm not the same,

I'm not really here,
And I'm not the same,
It keeps coming back, and I can't shut it off, and it won't let me go,
This hole in my chest,
Sequential, recurring, numb, empty, alone.
