Slowburn

Neurotic, run over, obsessive
Compulsive, hypnotic, regressive
Bending over backwards trying to realign
Wrenching my back but enjoying the feeling of life

As it was born to the world

Painfully, willingly at its way

Bleeding seeds for the brain back in life
Try to see that they grow apart again in time
The only thing that keeps me together
Is the rope that's tied from my neck to the ground
Falling up in this noose as I reach for the sky
Everything I struggle for is falling behind
Obsessed with failure, in love with misery
Chasing the moment as I fade away
I hold this hand like a boy holds his mother's
If she leads him to life, just to suffer

Neurotic, run over, obsessive
Compulsive, hypnotic, regressive
Bending over backwards trying to realign
Wrenching my back but enjoying the feeling of dying
Slowly

Slow burn
As dust settles around my feet

As I carve into the world
But nothing works, no nothing works
I sculpt and swim, my life is the white hole
Just to take too much and watch it double
It burns so hard and it falls fast
I offer pieces to the light and I laugh
Watching my efforts with nothing
Just gasping aimlessly at the ground
In front of a laughing crowd

But guess who's laughing now
When all the tables have turned and you begin to drown
From the ashes inside of this fragile heart
This body hurts, I'm addicted to the slow burn

I'm addicted to the slow burn
I'm addicted to the slow burn
Slow burn
