What the hell do you want from me
I've got a ghost on my back - that's not hyperbole
The tension won't stop increasing
Steam is rising to the ceiling, dissipating feeling
There's a demon in my body
Disconnecting myself from the rest of reality
It sears at my will with flames
It has it's clutch on my brain with unbreakable chains
(Nick Hanian:)
The ghost on my back tells me things and it won't leave me be
It provokes me to combat everything in my life that has any meaning
For fucks sake, I feel it's hate
I feel it's hate for me
It haunts me endlessly with it's chaos and heartbreak and misery
Burdened and weeping, I only want some relief
I just want it out, I want it released, I just want a moment of peace
