Artificial Dose

(album: [m]other - 2023)

I'm finished now
Thrown to the wolves and disavowed
Let me go

The war in my head
On through the ages
It won't end
The city burns red
End the invasion
In silence
Dread sinking in
Further every step
Dread fills my head

I won't ever let go
Until our phase is gone
Patience is a virtue
And I've been waiting all along
Now I outlive the misery that tried to finish me
Let me take another dose
You won't ever let me go
Let me go

It's over now
I am the wolf, come face me now
You shut me out
Left by my own kind

This place I'm hardly known
Is home to no one
To rest a wounded soul
At what cost we cope
Too terrified to exist
I'm in here somewhere
Still too aware to forget
Thought you should know

I won't ever let go
Until our phase is gone
Patience is a virtue
And I've been waiting all along
Now I outlive the misery that tried to finish me
Let me take another dose
You won't ever let me go

I'm finished now
Thrown to the wolves and disavowed
Let me go

I won't ever let go
Until our phase is gone
Patience is a virtue
And I've been waiting all along
Now I outlive the misery that tried to finish me
Let me take another dose
You won't ever let me go
Let me go
It's over now
I am the wolf, come face me now

You shut me out
Now I return to burn it down
