Lyrics
The static in my veins is getting way too loud
I need a sharper sound to drown the fucking crowd
They're screaming in my head
But I am numb upon the skin
I need to know I'm real
I need to know where I begin
This pressure builds a fortress
The walls are closing in
It's an abstract kind of violence
A war I'll never win
So I need a different battle
One that I can see
A way to let the pressure finally
Physically bleed
I trace the lines to quiet the mind
A beautiful
Violent relief I find
This porcelain skin
A diary in red
To silence all the ghosts inside my head
It's not a death wish
It's a desperate need to heal
By trading all the chaos for a pain that I control
Now the ritual is over
And the shame begins to creep
A harvest of regret from the solace that I reap
The art of the excuse
The cat just scratched my arm
I'm a master of deflection
I'm a master of the harm
I wear these long sleeves in the summer like a shroud
To hide the secret chapters I can't ever say aloud
I build another wall up so nobody gets to see
The monster that I'm hiding is the monster that is me
I trace the lines to quiet the mind
A beautiful
Violent relief I find
This porcelain skin
A diary in red
To silence all the ghosts inside my head
It's not a death wish
It's a desperate need to heal
By trading all the chaos for a pain that I control
This isn't control
This is a prison
A slave to the blade
A coward's decision
The scars aren't a diary
They're a map of my defeat
I hate this
I need this
I'm fucking incomplete
I'm incomplete
I'm incomplete
I trace the lines to quiet the mind
A beautiful
Violent relief I find
This porcelain skin
A diary in red
To silence all the ghosts inside my head
I trace the lines to quiet the mind
A beautiful
Violent relief I find
It's the only thing that's real
This porcelain skin
A diary in red
To silence all the ghosts inside my head
It's not a death wish
It's a desperate need to heal
By trading all the chaos for a pain that I control
