Gaze upon the seeming bastardized version

Desperate diligence uncovering aversion

And for the guarantees a stampede escape

Losing it all along the way 

From sheltered existence my own stifled experience

Creating a Ziploc world of makings delirious

But I've remained pious to the ethics of the day

Keeping beautiful demeanor but writhing for surfacing



But it won't leave my mind

Always consuming me

I have no other cause

Cuz this is what I breathe



My patience wearing thin

The walls are caving in

Just let me know the end

Cuz this is what I need



Oh I know it's this or nothing at all



But now the adamant being so brave that I once claimed myself to be

Has opened his ears and is suffocating from all their questioning

And all the swells of a growing doubt pulling me away until I'm without belief

Fearful with no answers for anyone I need relief



But it won't leave my mind

Always consuming me

I have no other cause

Cuz this is what I breathe



My patience wearing thin

The walls are caving in

Just let me know the end

Cuz this is what I need



Oh I know it's this or nothing at all



Symptoms of a burning rope I'm scared out of my goddamn mind

Reassure a fading hope I feel I'm running out of time

Impervious pressure, impending doom

I'm gonna crack karmic cycle your payment is due



So I say with a final breath…

Just give me this or give me death



But it won't leave my mind

Always consuming me

I have no other cause

Cuz this is what I breathe
