This is a declaration This is a testimony An obituary born of decay This is a departure from the gray This is my catharsis Forgot I chose to live out my Life a method actor Became a character Lost in comforting lies Too deep to realise The numbness is what I despise Nothing could be finer A life in A-minor Grey scale just seems kinder Pharmaceutical veil Daylight is for sale If I don't try then I can't fail Give up the ghost of a man you never met Haunted by all of this hope Scatter the ashes in a place you won't forget Nothing is on his headstone Raise your weary head From this light we departed Hold on I'm just not me without my medicine Come down If I get worse will it fix me again? Hold on I can't pretend without my medicine Come down If I forget my lines will I come back again? No recompense, no relief Golem wrought from Clay of grief Suspended disbelief Substitute absolution Disregard dissolution Preside over my execution My own chain around my neck No choice but accept Broken parts don’t intersect Take ahold and drag under The undertow and the thunder My smiling face is torn asunder Give up the ghost of a man you never met Haunted by all of his hope (I'm worn out on hoping for more) Scatter the ashes in a place you won't forget Nothing is on his headstone (No hope any more)

Yeah JFTB turning Straight coming at you We're gonna bring that beat back I'm scared It's like you never cared But I know you can throw shade With some light on your hand Multiply it all with a flame and a lamp And expand it til all of my demons recant I can’t fly My wings have been clipped I can’t fly Weighed down by all this I am the emperor Heavy is the head that wore the crown as the kingdom burned I am the emperor of all the pain that I have learned Is this a tomb or a chrysalis to give me birth? Hunt from us the sleep that chains our wings to the earth Fire cleanse and fire rebirth And i wont become whole Until ive proven my worth ????? Spread my seed and my earth, This is Johnny from the Burbs man fuck what you heard Got the noose tied tight round the neck of my foes My mans rang a man told me give us a show And so im these droppin bars Like the sydney council Ya cancelled scrambled Give us a gamble Chuck us ya dollar$

Phantom pain to phantom limb I am a shade and this body is my crypt All my scars are numb forever Graft your nerves and mine together You won’t leave intact Reave to reinnervate I can't tell which parts of me are real I’ll damn you to hell just so I can feel

I still go to sleep half expecting To wake up choking on the words infecting A memory I know there's no correcting I guess it's a blessing I guess it is My mouth is full of dirt I'd try to spit it out I'd try to swallow it down But I'm afraid you'd still get hurt Lower me in to the earth Have your revenge I won't pretend It's not what we both deserve Just put a stone on my grave to stop me from rising The dirt envelopes me It chokes like embers I beg for recompense I can't remember Buried in soil While I shake and tremble No pharmaceuticals Can halt the tremors One foot in the grave, the other in my mouth The doctors told me to embrace my demons But that doesn't help when I can't fucking see them Scratching, clawing, gnawing at my cortex Haunted by the thought of what I'm gonna do next Do I live with the ties I've severed Or seal my fate and be rid of them forever? Sowing the seeds of my own self doubt Make it stop, help me find a way out
