Chemicals flow
down the stream
of disorder
down the stream
of disorder
Dissolving in amatter of minutes
A mitigation of
countless hours
Contradicting
these caustic feelings
They've been by
my side throughout
this tumultuous journey
these caustic feelings
They've been by
my side throughout
this tumultuous journey
I'm a fucking mess
but I'm inhibited
in this moment
but I'm inhibited
in this moment
I agree there's
a problem
that supersedes
another
a problem
that supersedes
another
This dependency
is slavery
But it's the only
form I know
that offers
emancipation
is slavery
But it's the only
form I know
that offers
emancipation
