My Sanity on the Funeral Pyre

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Paranoia is the insect worming its way Through my subconscious thoughts It's the larva of my self-doubt Gestating in my heart as I spiral down And everything I touch is breaking And it falls to earth in splinters And I shiver as every splinter Finds its way underneath my skin And after 22 years, I can still make my skin crawl Every shortcoming's a pitfall [Pre-Chorus] On my way To making amends Within myself to be To be what I became [Chorus] Sometimes, it feels like the whole wide world Has made itself my enemy But I will stand upon my own two feet And raise, raise my head up [Verse 2] I lick my wounds Trying to cleanse the infection Rabid and diseased Reality fades away When I pushed myself too far A dream of emotional perfection Has left a wounded heart Trying to perceive the gifts inherent inside me It's like squeezing the trigger It's like opening fire [Pre-Chorus] On everyone Who's let me down On every beautiful lie that is That is only fiction [Chorus] Sometimes, it feels like the whole wide world Has made itself my enemy But I will stand upon my own two feet And raise, raise my head up [Bridge] For the first time I'm losing control and I like it Freedom feels like the noose is gone For the first time I'm losing control and I like it Freedom feels like the noose is gone [Guitar Solo Outro]
