lyrics

i dont think anyone feels as alone and empty as i am
waking up every morning feeling sad and heavy
and sometimes i cant remember where i been
all this self medication is just self destruction
is it nihilism is it narcissism
it feels like suicide in the slow lane
a victim of a cowardly brain
that cant get the job done well
maybe im going insane
or maybe i just have some really fucked up habits

its really hard sometimes to let people into my life
i feel like my friendship is a burden and i dont wanna let them all down when i lie, but i crave their company so much sometimes i wanna cry
my conscious screams out "heroin or suicide"

tell me theres more to look forward to then a 20 dollar drop
tell me theres something out there that feels better then shooting up
maybe the point of life is to struggle and overcome
if thats the case im failing, cause im alone loveless and numb

its like a slow motion bullet right to my brain
like being stuck on the tracks waiting for an approaching train
some days i wish itd hurry up, some days i struggle and scream your name
who put me here who tied me down i need someone else to blame

tell me theres more to look forward to then a 20 dollar drop
tell me theres something out there that feels better then shooting up
maybe the point of life is to struggle and overcome
if thats the case im failing, cause im alone and im dopesick and im loveless and numb.
