Clawing at the scar, reveal the meat underneath
A Thousand nerves twitching, but the pills brings some releif
Shake the bottle, the tiny thing in your hand
With a glass of water, we can choke the medicine down
Wipe the blood away, wash the wound in a metaphor
It's all so artificial, who am I singing this song for
Blurry eyes stare through the distance into the specter of memory
Sparks in the cerebellum and a rush of dopamine
Stare through the kaleidoscope of a fractured mind
A white, odorless antipyretic, leave the pain behind
Wipe the tears away, stitch the world with a metaphor
It's all so manufactured, who am I singing this song for
We're near the end now, feel it crawling through my veins
A hundred chemical compounds shut off receptors in my brain
A numbness drapes over me, I can see eternity through my eyes
After so many years, I'm finally in the place I want to leave behind
Wipe the light away, wrap the wound in a metaphor
It's all so plastic, what the hell am I living for
