surrounded Lyrics

Surrounded

By ghosts of the past

Bodies laid out around

As I sit here reflecting, sipping from a flask

I ask my own reflection for a glass

Breaking from my slumber

Over-cumbered

With thoughts trying to mask my vast

Memories, of a past romanced

All laying in puddles of my own blood

Corpses, in formation

Each one slain over a breaching of trust

Drilling through crust

Over a grudge

Collecting dust

Over my own love of lust

Back then I didn't wanna listen

But I should have answered my own calls

Just a smidgen

I allowed myself to fall into a trap

Running laps around, with no map

Letting them have their way

As I was submerged in a pool of toxic waste

Decay

But I had no clue

This wouldn't leave my brain without a trace

Debauch, on god

I was chasing around bitches like a dog

Wanting a bone for a night

Drowning in their abysmal whim like Enoch

Claws, reaching out for their flock

To cut and take another essence if my lust

You only really love when all is said and done

But I rather just bust one, fuck and regret

when I'm older, smoldered

Given a cold shoulder

As the bodies lay across the floorboard

Various past lives, scattered

Like knocked over pieces on a chessboard

I keep trying to kill my own voice of reason

Remembering, when I look in the mirror

It's an act of treason

We all got our demons

But mine are chilling

Acting like they making a killing off of my feelings

Living, stealing

My sense of logic

As I fall back into a slumber with the same

Old rhythm in my head sounding hypnagogic

Past selves and future selves

Bucking them down

Despite the trophies on my shelf

Or the lack of accumulated wealth

Taking what I want

No need for stealth

So I continue to enter the fray

Cloaked and masked up

Stepping over the corpses in my wake

Past and future converged

Locked in a cage

Imploding amid the chants

Spat all over the cosmic proverbial shroud

Of my stave
