Текст песни Shadow Self - In Faith We Fear

A forest of insanity growing in my head
It's branches pierce my guts and cut me to death
Thoughts of suicide plague this life I've lead
I feel everywhere I go the disease is spread
Innocense stained with black and torn to shreds
A child bathed in the blood that he bled
I scream it out and no one cares
Like it was never said
I'm seeing red

My darkness wants me dead
It's got me in a chokehold
Keeps the truth from being exposed
Though it would remedy
I choose to withhold
It's always had control
Will this secret unfold?
I scream out my life
Then recant, it was a lie
I break down and say my final goodbyes
Then laugh it off like good times
Anxiety beguiles
A demonic beast
Viscious and wild
A heartless creature
Putrid and vile
Wants me to die
Takes over my life
How do I stop? I can't end it

I can't tell what's real
Am I dead or alive?
Can't feel my face or head against the wall
Can't feel my teeth bite into my lips
Do you still feel pain from the blade or are you dead inside like me?

Commute between the fear of death
And the hatred of life
Commute between the fear of death
And the hatred of life

My shadow self
Strangles me
My shadow self
Killing me
My shadow self becoming me
My shadow self is fucking me over while you're fucking watching!

I scream out my life
Then recant, it was a lie
I break down and say my final goodbyes
Then laugh it off like good times
Anxiety beguiles
A demonic beast
Viscious and wild
A heartless creature
Putrid and vile
Wants me to die
Takes over my life
How do I stop? I can't end it
The reaper's standing behind me
Warning me about the consequence of desperate measures
From desperate times
But what else can I do?
How can I stop it?
How can I stop this?
