Time neglects these wounds that need addressing Harbors any attempt at slow progression How do I keep a restraint on my aggression? Cause I've grown tired of suppressing the way I felt Kill the ache, ease the pain Level the blade, free my mistakes, take me away Regressing fast is a slow defeat This illness killing off the better parts of me Bound by my medications, they keep me alive In a world run by greed, will I get by? Thousands to keep me breathing Zero to just let me die When I was younger, that's when I truly lived I can't help, but to fall back on the memories How they all faded, and now that part just feels dead to me I know I'm losing a battle That never seemed to belong to me I'm only 23, but half my life is spent If you're not rich in health, you may as well be dead Nobody tells you there's no room for the diseased Collapsing beneath a world run by greed You've taken everything, why let me be free? Struggle in silence, I can't be seen Thousands to keep me breathing Zero to let me die
