A Subtle Surrender

Black days, call my name
Twisted ways, leading me astray.

With their sweet, seductive song
Sirens with a liar's tempting tongue.

The seconds seem like hours, the minutes pass like days
Time does not heal, it only seems to hide the pain.

It's a subtle surrender, giving in to the constant pressure, as the tide begins to rise
It's an everyday disaster, and now you're sinking faster, beneath the rising tide.

As the pressure starts to rise, as it builds behind your eyes
You feel it start to drag you under
All the emptiness inside, all the wounds you've tried to hide
Dragging you down and bleeding you dry.

As the pressure starts to rise
Dragging you down, and bleeding you dry.

Dragging you down
And bleeding you dry.

Every word is like a weapon, every moment leaves its mark
Sticks and stones may break me, but nothing leaves a deeper scar.

It's a subtle surrender, giving in to the constant pressure, as the tide begins to rise
It's an everyday disaster, and now you're sinking faster, beneath the rising tide.

As the pressure starts to rise, as it builds behind your eyes
You feel it start to drag you under
All the emptiness inside, all the wounds you've tried to hide
Dragging you down and bleeding you dry.

In silence, we suffer, screaming without sound
Fading into darkness, where no one, can find us.

In silence we will drown, as the pressure pulls us down.

Black days, call my name
Twisted ways, leading me astray.

Pain and poison fill your veins, life and death it's all the same
Every breath feels like a noose, now there's nothing left to lose.

Touch the razor to your wrist, mark it with a single kiss
Twist the knife in your back, cut the rope, fade to black.

Cut the rope, fade to black.

As the pressure starts to rise, as it builds behind your eyes
You feel it start to drag you under
All the emptiness inside, all the wounds you've tried to hide
Dragging you down and bleeding you dry.
