Watch the unfolding

This growing grey inside

Creeping slowly,

Silent killer

Of all the real things that I hide



Such a perfect betrayal,

The one within

I’m shattered, scattered,

And words don’t matter

Without a fight I’ve given in



Crush this denial, it’s all coming clear

Crush this self-loathing that cages me here

Crush all the holes that can never be filled

Fuck self-destruction and fuck useless guilt



Through the empty,

Breathing steady,

Shed my skin,

I’m stripped away

Flood my senses,

Found my pieces,

Give it all to stay this way

Feel the silent killer wash away



Didn’t know the possible

To rebegin

I spent so long waiting for an answer

That was already there

Didn’t know the actual

Who I really am

I looked so far, thought life was out there

But I forgot how to live



Through the empty,

Breathing steady,

Shed my skin,

I’m stripped away

Flood my sense,

Found my pieces,

Give it all to stay this way

Feel the silent killer wash away



Ripped out

Stripped out

Burned out

Crushed out

Feel the silent killer wash away
