Misfire

(album: New Age Filth - 2021)

I forget the way it feels to be forgotten
Right up 'til it happens
All the imperfections tell me that I'm rotten
Take what I need and collide

So I'll burn with the sin
From every room I've stayed in
I deserve to be quartered and drawn!

I forgot the name of the person I'm about to meet
And I keep on validating empty needs
I threw the hotel key away

I'm outside my body watching from the ceiling
That's not what you wanted
Leave that shadowed self reflection at the door
No one asked what you're doing

Now I reap what I sow
From every lie that I've told
I deserve to be drowned in the flood!

I forgot the name of the person I'm about to meet
And I keep on validating empty needs
I forget the names of the people I'm about to meet
But I can't keep validating empty speech
I threw the hotel key away

Did my fingerprints
Sneak away from me?

I feel closer to the air
That floats around you
Than I actually do to you
I feel closer to the air
That floats around you
Than I do to you

So it goes
I deserve to be drowned in the flood
