Deconstructing Self-Destruction

(album: Reluctant Hero - 2020)

(Contemplate self-destruction)

I close off the madness
Black out the unseen
All static I ignore
Cease sending through the feed

Oh I thought I was clear that we would never coincide
You chose to gamble but I'm free to choose my side

Contemplate self-destruction
Pyrogenic people deviate
Malevolent minds breeds this infection
Decimate until nothing remains

Now you're feeling like you wanna give it up
Now you're looking for a better life
You try to take the ups and downs
Give in to the ride

Find a way you'll never get a second chance
Fuck 'em all and only follow your own plans
To get to your own end
Live as if you might never die

High standing on the doorway
Burnout suffering
All chasing wisdom
Bleed, flowing ever free

Oh I thought I was clear that we would never coincide
You chose to gamble but I'm free to choose my side

Spiritual belief, an obsession
To desecrate your body, mind and soul
The punishment of your transgressions
Living in the age of the cutthroat

Now you're feeling like you want to give it up
Now you're looking for a better life
You try to take the ups and downs
Give into the ride

Find the way you never get a second chance
Fuck 'em all and only follow your own plans
To get to your own end
Live as if you might never die

Bending contortion
Taking shape
Hollow and writhing
Lay the blame
Deep inside I feel
Constant chill
Rip apart your insides
Stretching skin

Make me remember that I'm alive
Make me remember
Make me feel like this life ain't the only one
See you across the river
When our time is through
'Til then give in to the ride
As if we'll never die

Never die
Here's my sign
Live as if you might
Born into the fight
Never die
Here's my sign
Give in to the ride
Fire is on my side
I'll never die
