Slip

This is basically just me trying to make sense of myself.

It happens so quickly, so very slow
How it happens, God doesn’t even know
I don’t know why my mind is in this state,
But whenever I see love, all I feel is hate.

It occurs violently, so very peacefully
Each time it comes, it takes a part of me
Don’t want to stop it, I don’t even try
‘Cuz when the strong side lives, the weak one dies

And so my mind slips into its rage
Trying to get out of its cage
The one I created
That I alone created
And so I put on a mask of hate
Trying to find a way to escape
Escape this fantasy
To escape the reality

I fear what I don’t understand, what I realize
After failing for so long, I’m afraid to try
I don’t know if I should even like it
But inside my head, it’s a full-out riot


It’s something that I dread, I anticipate
A new reality that my mind creates
Does this only happen to me,
Or am I the only person I want to pity?

And so my mind slips into its rage
Trying to get out of its cage
The one I created
That I alone created
And so I put on a mask of hate
Trying to find a way to escape
Escape this fantasy
To escape the reality

I feel so ugly, so beautiful
A demon dwells inside my soul
Had enough of the proverbial wishing well
Because all it’s done is made my life hell

Inside I feel old, so very new
Beating myself ‘till I’m black and blue
I lose my sight, ‘cuz I’m seeing red
I don’t feel alive, ‘cuz insead I’m dead.

And so my mind slips into its rage
Trying to get out of its cage
The one I created
That I alone created
And so I put on a mask of hate
Trying to find a way to escape
Escape this fantasy
To escape the reality

And so my mind slips
