Sever The Line

(Whispered) "Cage... the pain..." [Short Instrumental Pause] [Verse 1: Enter Deep Male Vocals] "I haven't been sleeping well lately." I'm sitting here alone, not even tired Wishing the reason why was bein' wired Wondering why I haven't been fired I've been hating my job since I got hired It barely pays enough to put food on the plate One good thing is that I've lost a lot of weight But now my spine's begun to deteriorate And it leaves me in a bad mental state [Verse 2: Heavy Distortion, Gritty Male Vocals] "Control is something I no longer have." Hands tremble and lose their grip I lose my balance and start to trip My ankle always feels like it's about to rip My memory has begun to slip I know these are things related to age It makes me want to yell out in rage But I keep that locked up tight in a cage Instead, I write these words on a blank page [Bridge: Slow Tempo, Aggressive Male Growl] "I can't handle this pain anymore." I pray to a god I don't even know Hoping mercy is something he'll show But they're just empty prayers, I know Gods are fictitious, created long ago I don't want a bunch of daily medication Pharmaceuticals have a reputation Of slowly killing your liver in relation Too many pills taken in over saturation [Verse 4: Wall of Sound, Intense Male Screaming] "I don't want to die from a failed liver." Nor do I want to always live in pain As my health slowly goes down the drain My mental prowess will slowly wane My whole life will wash right down the drain Disability's something I never did desire I want to work until I can retire These thoughts burn like wildfire As the pain levels keep getting higher [Outro: Clean Guitar, Sad Male Vocals] "I don't like having thoughts like these." Though my mind says it's time to resign And the end seems like a clean design I still believe that my story is mine I won't let my own pain sever the line Sever the line Sever the line [End]
