Silent Killer

Watch the unfolding
This growing grey inside
Creeping slowly
Silent killer
Of all the real things that I hide
Such a perfect betrayal
The one within
I’m shattered, scattered
And words don’t matter
Without a fight I’ve given in
Crush this denial, it’s all coming clear
Crush this self-loathing that cages me here
Crush all the holes that can never be filled
Fuck self-destruction and fuck useless guilt
Through the empty
Breathing steady
Shed my skin
I’m stripped away
Flood my senses
Found my pieces
Give it all to stay this way
Feel the silent killer wash away
Didn’t know the possible
To rebegin
I spent so long waiting for an answer
That was already there
Didn’t know the actual
Who I really am
I looked so far, thought life was out there
But I forgot how to live
Through the empty
Breathing steady
Shed my skin
I’m stripped away
Flood my sense
Found my pieces
Give it all to stay this way
Feel the silent killer wash away
Ripped out
Stripped out
Burned out
Crushed out
Feel the silent killer wash away
