Facets of my Broken Mind

Verse 1

Shattered trust with hands like frost

I watched my faith turn into dust

Bent and breaking, left behind

Dreams decayed by dirty lies

Thought forever, but silence spoke

Sharp as razors around my throat

Every night I conjure up all the shit

My veins still echoing that darkened mist

Verse 2

Street light halos on empty roads

I walk these miles alone, a ghost

No one believes the wounds they can't see

I've learned how hollow a heart can be

The kettle hisses in the quiet gloom

Broken china in my empty room

My pulse just pounds the ache inside

These shadows linger right beside

Chorus

Poppies bloom behind my eyes

I float through walls of dripping light

The ceiling shivers, stars leak through

I taste old sorrow in something new

Serpents coil around my tongue

A thousand doors, each one undone

I step right out of aching skin

I see myself begin again

Verse 3

The dawn is bruised, another day

My body numb, I watch the grey

There's nothing left, and still I stand

A haunted soul with trembling hands

But somewhere deep, some strange new fire

Strings swell beneath this funeral choir

The devil holds me down below

No father, son

No holy ghost

Verse 4

Vacant drifter on a faded shore

Lost in the present, bound by law

Betrayal echoes underneath my feet

Every shadow whispers dark deceit

What I carry I don't deserve

I'm not a sickness, I'm a fucking cure

Fractals shift through kaleidoscope eyes

These are the facets of my broken mind

Bridge

Poppies bloom behind my eyes

I float through walls of dripping light

The ceiling shivers, stars leak through

I taste old sorrow in something new

Serpents coil around my tongue

A thousand doors, each one undone

I step right out of aching skin

I see myself begin again

Verse 5

Dripping tears in a pool of blood

Welcome to the river of not good enough

The emptiness stands high above

All I want is to be forever loved

Shadows whisper where the daylight dies

Truth is buried under broken skies

Every heartbeat feels like chains that bind

Searching for a freedom I just can’t find

Verse 6

Standing high, standing tall

Arms not open so don't catch me fall

Ground comes closer with every breath

But I still walk with a puffed out chest

Resurrected from my open mind

Pillaged souls from my past, sublime

Standing naked battered, bruised

I will be forever Satan's muse

Chorus

Poppies bloom behind my eyes

I float through walls of dripping light

The ceiling shivers, stars leak through

I taste old sorrow in something new

Serpents coil around my tongue

A thousand doors, each one undone

I step right out of aching skin

I see myself begin again
