lyrics

Verse 1
Sitting in the
Coldest of rooms
Holding myself
back

Returning to be
me and just me
making the voices
silent

this is a new
day I have seen
a mercy gave
to rise amongst

Chorus
Itching on my face anxiety
to control the urge of murder
and to deny the completion

Verse 2
they talk to me
analyze me
I'm maintaining
control

I can subdue
I'm in control
no one set me
off

pay attention
or they’ll put you
back in the room
the burning is rising

Chorus
Itching on my face anxiety
to control the urge of murder
and to deny the completion

Bridge

You asked the wrong thing but I'm to blame?
Rage is building I smell your blood
I lunge forward biting your neck
taste of fresh blood iron on my tongue

verse 3
I'm sorry that man
he had to die
it builds in me
calming

his skin on my teeth
pressing in deep
watch his blood drain
all life

I'm better dead
no hope for me
lock me away
for your safety
