Eternal Senses

Strangling myself again
Because I couldn’t determine my mind
Was it what they all did to me?
Or was it that I decided to die?

Was it only my ignorance?
Could I just not see past their masks?
It seems like I’m falling down
Every time that I have to ask

I’m becoming what they believe
Vengeance through my insanity
I’m becoming the sickened eye
Casting the hatred on all I see

Just break me down and never speak
You can’t tell me why I’m forever weak
To see the light I have to fall
But this sacrifice still makes me crawl

Doubting myself again
I’m becoming afraid of my touch
What could I do to you?
I see too deep and I feel too much

Just pull me down and pass me by
Just make me think that I’m a lie
Crush my heart and have your say
Even though I know I’ll come back this way
