Burial Within – A Life In Decay lyrics

Disassociate from emotion -- push it down
Let the numbness take over
Misled by the promise of another day
Standing on the edge
On the edge but never falling
I'll never know what it's like to have that peace of mind
To have that reassurance that everything will be all right
Suffering in my self-loathing way
Taking pleasure from the pain
Basking in its warm embrace
Happiness comes in waves
On this sea of anxiety that stretches for eternity
Taking pleasure from the pain
Witnessing a life in decay
Survival brings isolation and emptiness
Death can only bring eternal sleep
Different paths lead to different fates
Which path to take ... ?
Standing on the edge
That razor's edge that bleeds all hope from me
How can I stop my descent into this
Whirling mass of bleakness and darkness
Could it be too late to save me?
Could it be I don't want to be saved?
Do you know what it's like
To cry yourself to sleep at night
Just waiting for that perfect day
When everything will be all right?
Do you know what it's like to love
When nobody's there to love you?
Do you know what it's like to care
When nobody cares about you?
Reaching the end of my endurance
Hoping to find a means to an end
