Drifting away
• Written by Basilisk
crying in my room so used to it, dying behind closed doors felling gloom
listening to music on my phone, always alone
so unknown not even my family knows me
if they only knew they'd disown me
have a little sister that adores me, she's all that drives me
all i wanna see, more than anything i need to flee
see I'm so sick of being the odd man out, the one no one knows about
i could just scream and shout expel all the air out of my lungs until i blackout
feeling so misplaced how does no one see it, so desperate internally
dead, makes me sick i wanna vomit, take a ship of rockets a rocket ship
made outta lead, leave and just forget that i know them, that i met
and knew such ignorance and bigotry such egoism and hatred
putting up my defense , it's constant, need to be bigot free, externally
hence they don't even realize they're hurting me, i need to express this
it's gonna be the end of me, falling deeper and deeper the road ahead
getting steeper, a car hit me, didn't use the blinker
so now i'm just laying here victim of war, he just kept driving
went far far away, he didn't even hesitate no delay
i'm in such a fucked up state, physically here i'll stay
while my mind drift's away, but i'm not gonna pray
i was never the religious type, i'll just drift away in my thoughts no big hype
//hook
days fleeting, getting hurt around every corner
slowly fading, put me in a casket take me to the coroner
never ending, made to feel like a foreigner
thoughts bending, walking through the corridor
this is never gonna end, i'm a defeated warrior
they just leave me on the floor, got a tear in my eye, i'll wipe it my myself
don't need no help, at least i'm human you're all just robotic prototypes
makes me wanna take a sniper and just snipe your metallic parts down
go ahead bribe the pied piper, you're just empty creatures in diapers
like a virus always going around, inflicting pain without a fight
i don't see the end in sight, maybe i should just end it right
bite a bullet through my skull i just might, trying to stay strong
i'm right i know they're wrong, but they don't understand the pain
they're inflicting on me, letting some of it out through this song
for every car that hits me, i go to the bar and have a drink till it makes me
think that i belong, that this all fits me, but the hits just keep on coming
drinking's my way of running, cause my heart's burning
while my mind's fuming with rage, it keeps getting stronger with age
i should probably stage my own death, my life's a show
nearing it's curtain call, looking at the sky, time's frozen, beginning to snow
ambulance approaching, life waving bye bye
everyday lines of poison ingested, with hatred infested, it's all so slow
they just drove right past me, might as well throw in the towel
story of my life i know
//hook
days fleeting, getting hurt around every corner
slowly fading, put me in a casket take me to the coroner
never ending, made to feel like a foreigner
thoughts bending, walking through the corridor
this is never gonna end, i'm a defeated warrior
