Cobwebs in the corner

We are all apart of this beautiful nightmare

The stares never would fight fare

I use to dream under those abandoned stairs

Wrapped up in a blanket from somewhere

I guess I truly never cared

As long as the drugs were around to share.

 

Do you see me fighting

My demons are winning

I’m unaware I’m hurting

I’m curating my own death

 

I’m shuffling in the corner

The only light I share is from

My lighter

I wish I could just dream

But my eyes are stuck wide open

Can you hear the demon

It’s laughter

Or is this my own personal nightmare

 

Do you see me fighting

My demons are winning

I’m unaware I’m hurting

I’m curating my own death

 

I find solace I’ll be saved

Before I dig myself my own grave

I pray to God he will share his grace

And get me out of this miserable place

 

Do you see me fighting

My demons are winning

I’m unaware I’m hurting

I’m curating my own death
