My Tragedy

Verse 1

The universe is spinning free
But I am lost and
The stars are trapping me
The shackles are not the type
That you can see
And I am nothing now
Left waiting
For a common ground
That'll never be reality

Chorus

My mouth's been sewn closed
My eyes long glued shut
My mind is the canvas
Wicked nightmares and fantasies
Confusing me
And painting gruesome portraits
Of who I used to be

Verse 2

Darkness surrounds
The scenes of tragedy
Playing all around me
Like a personal melody
And I can't scream
And I can't see
My eyes and words deceiving me
So easily


Chorus

My mouth's been sewn closed
My eyes long glued shut
My mind is the canvas
Wicked nightmares and fantasies
Confusing me
And painting gruesome portraits
Of who I used to be

Final Verse

I rip the stitches
From my lips
Breathing free
And peel my eyelids open forcefully
Praying to catch a glimpse
Of my personality
And sometimes I cry
Just to drink my own tears
In the futile hope
Of swallowing my own sadness

Final chorus

My mouth torn open
My eyes wounded wide
My mind come undone
In the wake of broken canvases
The brushes are split
The paint spattered
On the crumbling walls
Of my ruined psyche
And I am left
Picking up the ragged remnants
Of my tragedy
