Phantom Pain

Oh so the noise has turned to silence And the pain can't sing along So the malice swallows kindness As your skin is peeling off The memories behind me become an obstacle And the truth can't set me free But the lies could let me go Oh so the noise has turned to silence And the pain can't sing along So the malice swallows kindness As your skin is peeling off The memories behind me become an obstacle And the truth can't set me free But the lies could let me go I cut limbs cut ties Torn apart every bit of myself Just to build it up but that's no surprise Just another ache that I can't explain Another fever I can't break now please Pass the champagne I need a moment to compose myself To let it sink in I've got some monsters in my closet And they're calling me in They're in the bottles a night I'm drinking This ship is slowly sinking Claustrophobic when my eyes are closed I feel a spectral host Familiar grip around my throat Sweet whisperings I can't condone Just a second let me breathe Cause this is close to my heart A pit that's growing deeper Colder than dark Oh so the noise has turned to silence And the pain can't sing along So the malice swallows kindness As your skin is peeling off The memories behind me become an obstacle And the truth can't set me free But the lies could let me go Chemically establish how to get through the day Never stopping to appreciate The beauty on the way Paranoia insomnia Gave a taste to the crows And now they're picking my bones Mantle shaking as I plunge through the ground In the depths fast asleep to a familiar sound The precipice will never open it's mouth Condemned to my estate A million leagues from the clouds Oh So the noise has turned to silence And the pain can't sing along So the malice swallows kindness As your skin is peeling off The memories behind me Become an obstacle And the truth can't set me free But the lies could let me go But the lies could let me go But the lies could let me go
