Lyrics

I carried your derision across the continent
Mistook your face in crowds with its familiar contempt
You can sever off abuse enacted on an ugly whim
But it lingers like fog, clings on like a phantom limb
It lingers like fog, clings on like a phantom limb
To all else, it endeavors to be a cave dweller
Finds shelter in the seeds of doubt it sows
Covertly, it pervades, shirking parties and parades
Donning monochromatic clothes
When I pretended to be asleep
It made the whole thing easier
To me, it strove to be all-encompassing
An inescapable gaze and a whispering scream
I should've called it what it was when it was all I knew
But my timid tongue refused like it was trained to do
When I pretended to be asleep
It made the whole thing easier
When I pretended to be asleep
It made the whole thing easier
But every waking hour was
A tiny slice of death
Vile were your words
With bile on the breath
I used to fantasize about
The life I'm living now
Under your weight unwelcomed
I plotted my way out
I carried your derision across the continent
Mistook your face in crowds with its familiar contempt
You can sever off abuse enacted on an ugly whim
But it lingers like fog, clings on like a phantom limb
When I pretended to be asleep
It made the whole thing easier
When I pretended to be asleep
It made the whole thing easier
Now when I'm supine
I rest my eyes
And the whole thing's easier
