Self Inflicted (Lyrics)

Self Inflicted
Dexter’s Kin

I’ve forgotten the day had passed away
As I blanket my windows from the day
Slouched deep in the darkness while I play
Everything is okay

I create all the acts for the world to see
Living life to agree to disagree
So I’ve drifted away
But have settled to stay

Every time I breathe, I’m struggling
Drowning in every air I take
I tumble in my sleep from shaking
Regretting all my self-inflicted aches
I’m just waiting for time
For this high to decline
While I sweat and I shake
I’ll be clean when I wake
So I breathe, I’m shaking
Drowning in my self-inflicted ways

The nightmares continue in my sleep
Hypnagogic hallucinations creep
Underneath all the shadows
Make everything okay

I’m supposed
To feel whole
I should be
In control

I’m just waiting for time
For this high to decline
While I sweat and I shake
I’ll be clean when I wake

Every time I breathe, I’m struggling…
I tumble in my sleep from shaking…
