I am a one time habit

a valuable mistake

I am the poison in your bloodstream

an error in the system

A storm on the horizon

An ominous refrain

A challenge to insanity

A danger to the sane

(ch)

I tried too hard to see

to find justification

I lost all that was me

Drowned in imitation

This is my last chance taken

A breakdown in the static

A nightmare hides in darkness

with terror for the witness

A comfort to the lost

who have seen the face of horror

To survive within this...

Spiral sticky sound of sin

Reject the dirt I push within

Sharp spike scarred skin

Needles bite quiets the din

Silent scream so serene

Keeps the noise inside unseen

Smoke saturated sheen

of dying lights that guided me

Cerebral crushing car crash

Mistakes that we all amass

Chemical crisis creative clash

Victims to our own impasse

Cataclysmic cascades

a broken mind that can't evade

Christ's cracked conclave

Now you see we won't be saved
