BITE DOWN

(album: THE HEAVIEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME - 2021)

I count my blessings the same way I bite my tongue
I've never had the glass shatter, never all at once
I keep the better part scared of what I could do
I follow a narrow path shadowed by the truth

If just a part of me is holding back
Do I make a difference
Guide myself along by yielding to the least resistance
Lack of capability and an unwillingness to learn
Compassionless sack of filth
Feelings bred by the curse

If I could ever learn to bite my tongue would I make a difference
Still, I guide myself along by yielding to the least resistance
I lack the drive and the passion seeks heart for it to burn
Compassionless antagonist, you will always be perverse

It doesn't matter what I say or what I do
I can only feel when I isolate myself from you
It's for the best you hold me back
Degradation's allocation forces my vision back

I settle my issues one on one
My thoughts avert being overrun
Not long before the violence ensues
Can you feel it

I bite my tongue

I count my blessings the same way I bite my tongue
I've never had the glass shatter, never all at once
I keep the better part scared of what I could do
I follow a narrow path shadowed by the truth

I start to hallucinate
But the feelings all feel the same
I swallow my pride
But my feelings regurgitate
