Slow Motion

(album: Misery Made Me - 2022)

Seeing static
Dreaming in black and white
If this is life then why
Does it seem like dying?
It's automatic
The cycle never sleeps
The sound of sirens stuck in my head
And screaming

It's like I'm paralyzed
I get buried in cement
Silence setting in
So loud it's deafening
Close my eyes
In the center of the storm again
Silence setting in
And I let it kill me

Lights are blinding
Can't bring myself to look
I fold my hands
There's no chance that deadbeat ever answers
Tired of trying
Manufactured hope
The last match I had just burned out

It's like I'm paralyzed
I get buried in cement
Silence setting in
So loud it's deafening
Close my eyes
In the center of the storm again
Silence setting in
And I let it kill me
Worn out and wide open
Powerless
Dying in slow motion
It's like I'm paralyzed
I get buried in cement
Silence setting in
And I let it kill me
Kill me

Can't forget what's been said
Bomb ticking, soon be dead
If this is it, if this is to exist
Then count me out
I'm lost in the midst

It's like I'm paralyzed
I get buried in cement
Silence setting in
So loud it's deafening
Close my eyes
In the center of the storm again
Silence setting in
And I let it kill me
Worn out and wide open
Powerless
Dying in slow motion
It's like I'm paralyzed
I get buried in cement
Silence setting in
And I let it kill me
Kill me
Kill me
