Surface - Aesthetic Perfection

It’s become clear that no one knows I’m coming apart

See, pride means nothing when you’re crawling on the ground

If only you’d see, for once in your life

I fall, seem to replace a life

Paralyzed by apathy, we fall down

Can’t seem to deny all the things that destroy me

Threatened by a common delusion

A misplaced sense of immunity brought down

Why such abuse on me?

Because, you see, I ask for it

I ask for it

I don’t care, it doesn’t matter

You won’t need it anyway

I can’t feel, I don’t believe it

It won’t numb all the pain

I don’t care, it doesn’t matter

You won’t need it anyway

I can’t feel, I don’t believe it

This won’t take you from your place to die

I thought things would improve with time

Pathetic notions from a broken man

Let go, detach from ties that bind

Just scatter, carry on

Leave behind your worthless solution

Try to accept what you cannot be

Why not just give up and waste away?

At least on the surface, everything is fine
