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.
