about

A bass-driven, slightly funky progressive death metal song about limerence. Written in 2003, recorded in 2014.

lyrics

Anxiety
The image burned into the mind’s eye
Consumes your life
How can you bring it into being?
The best laid plans
Undermined by your own endeavors

Doomed to fail by obsession
Helpless and paralyzed
By the visage of perfection
Every time

All it takes is a slip of the tongue
In a moment everything can come undone
Losing battles that could’ve been won
Do you even realize what you’ve become?
One goal ruling every thought
Desperation renders everything for naught
If it’s impossible to make yourself stop
Then it’s time that you accept what you’ve wrought

Lost. Obsessed. Compelled.
Blinded by your fixation
Drained. Broken. Captive.
Enslaved by your own neurotic ways

Mesmerized by shining sapphires
Ivory veiled in black
A bright light
Shining in the darkness

Hold. Consume. Control.
Draining the life from your body
Cold. Alone. Distressed.
Unable to live with your own self

Hanging onto every word
You can only make it worse
Can’t bear the silence of a single moment
Confidence and patience fail
You’ve created your own hell
Trapped again inside of the same nightmare
When will you wake up?

Madness takes over your life
Dysfunction rules your mind
Your spirit fades away
And leaves you catatonic
Still unable to sustain
A symbiotic life
The only option left
To rid the parasite

Time to change the patterns, time to change my ways
Time to realize it mustn’t stay the same
No more reason to continue asking why
So this time I say never again, I’d rather die
