Aversion

I am awake, but I swear I'm only dreaming
This pain is what drives me, it keeps me from losing sleep
I've let myself fall obsolete
I can't recall a time where I felt complete

This deep abyss inside my head is all I know
I forgot what it's like to be alone
Now I'm so far from home

This is a disaster
How the hell have we ended up this way
Forever learning
How to live with our (live with our mistakes)
Now the world around me's changing I will stay the same
Upon foundations built from better days
(Built from better days)

While these offensives keep growing
While my defensives are slowing
I find myself without a leg to stand upon
Where do I truly belong
Ive been walking this road for far to long
Without a sense of purpose, I must carry on

I wear compassion, like a noose around my neck

How the hell did it come to this?
Another nightmare in every fucking severed tie
I have foreseen the coming storm
But I'll be damned if it consumes us all

This is a disaster
How the hell have we ended up this way
Forever learning
How to live with our (live with our mistakes)
As the world around me's changes I will stay the same
Upon foundations built from better days

This is a disaster
And its written all over your face
You're too ashamed to face the blame so I will take your place
As the world around me's changes I will stay the same
Upon foundations built from better days
Before we fade away

Oh how I've told you a thousand times
Self preservation is a part of life

Oh how I've told you a thousand fucking times
You cannot take what is rightfully mine
