Wraiths

Am I a puppet
A slave to the strings
A ghost in the shell
Cause I no longer feel anything
But an ever growing urge
For self-destruction and detachment…
This has gone on for too long
I’m breaking out…
Searching myself for a new beginning
Gasping for air whilst I’m slowly sinking
I’ve fallen into the void
Ground my teeth down to the bone
To abstain from the anger
That I just can’t seem to control
And I can feel it burning inside of me
Waiting for the tides to be unleashed
I’ve gotta hold it back
I’ve gotta channel it in
To a battle against myself
That I fear I will never win
And I can feel it burning inside of me
Yeah, I can feel it burn…
You better hold on to something
Whilst I try to weather this storm
Because we’re too far out to see the lighthouse
And there’s nothing left to guide us to shore
You better pray for me father, yeah pray for your son
Cause I’ll admit that I’m afraid, yeah I am afraid…
Cause when I look in the mirror all I can see is rage
Yeah, all I can see is rage
I fear it’s always been here
Hidden deep within my soul
Is it hardwired in to my DNA
Cause this response is all I know
So let me tell you 'bout
All the bridges I’ve built
I’m now so ready to burn
I’ll light the fires and watch the flames engulf it all
If I could just close my eyes
And finally put this to bed
But there’s a constant inferno inside my head…
So light the fires and watch the flames engulf it all…
And I can feel it burning inside of me
Yeah, I can feel it burn…
You better hold on to something
Whilst I try to weather this storm
Because we’re too far out to see the lighthouse
And there’s nothing left to guide us to shore
You better pray for me father, yeah pray for your son
Cause I’ll admit that I’m afraid
But it’s time for a change
I don’t wanna feel
No, I don’t wanna feel rage…
Yet all I can feel is rage…
You want the best of me?
You want it all
Well, come and get it…
