lyrics

The boiling water's rising, but you're trapped inside of your unreadable maps
that lead you nowhere no matter what you try and it's at the point that you'd rather die
But death won't cure it, it'll only delay the frustration to a later day
When it gets worse, all that will remain are broken fragments of your brain

And you can only hide it for so long before everyone knows that something's wrong
Then it is too late to save your face and there's no way for you to replace
The missing pieces of your heart without a complete and total restart
of your life but at this point it's too late so just sit back; don't hesitate

To give in to living a life where you don't have to
See these things or feel these strings. You can go and be free

Take in the injection so you feel the infection
The drowning's an illusion of a fail-safe solution
Your peace is almost here but I want to make it clear
If you ever turn your back you'll be stopped dead in your tracks.

So long as you keep going it will keep you from ever knowing
The anger and the sadness, the frustration and the madness
It all will go away, it will all be there to stay
Leave this burden that is huge outside the chemical refuge.

The sickness finally joins where you thought you were safe. Don’t you know, you’re forever a slave?
It doesn't have to be all that bad you can rebuild the life you had.
Some things are different, some forever the same. You got your circles, you got your name.
And don't forget it, or the lessons you learned sooner or later, it'll be your turn.

You thought assistance was a crutch, it turns out you didn't know that much.
Help yourself, help your fellows too, trust that they'd do the same for you.
It's not a burden, it's a step ahead. Leave your fear before it leaves you dead.
There's no wood beam, there's just the glass you see through that shows it’s time at last.

Do you know you're not alone? Your family is here with you.
But it's time for them to go. You’ll do this on your own.
