Maddening Love

In the mouth of madness Is where I now lie My comfortably numb sadness Surrounding like a lullabye, Such a sickening sweet melody Just for one moment I'd like to detach you from me. I'm tripping up on memories Still in love with a fantasy Thought that somewhere in you and I I could find a we; But in the end all I had was me. Here alone with undescribable pain You found that one part No one else could drain, Stripped me away layer by layer You are my own personal heart slayer Just bleeding me dry One drop at a time Soon enough there'll be nothing left I'll just die, drifting away With a drug induced smile I've medicated my life away To feel happy for a short while. It's cold and numb Beneath the surface I'ts like the blind leading the dumb Searching for my purpose. I thought I had found The meaning of it all But I was just gagged and bound A slave to my downfall.
