Distract Me Lyrics by Dearest

Retrograde

0

[Verse 1]
They always tell me I’m not the only one
But then the lights go out and I feel so alone
Days overwhelming, I never see the sun
It turns out tragedy’s the only love I know

[Verse 2]
And now I see
There is no cure for me, so why do I proceed?
Down into the deepest corners of my mind
I’ll never be at peace

[Chorus]
A sickness is burning
Into the roots of my soul, and I deserve it
It comes with no warning
And seeps beyond the surface
Spend most nights paralyzed
And every task is a new mountain before me
Can’t cut ties, can’t deny
This battle never ends
(This battle never ends)

[Break]
What have I become?
(Begging for something, anything to make me feel like)
This is where I belong
(These ghosts will haunt me ’til the day I die)

[Verse 3]
When I shut my eyes, I see all that I could be
If you weren’t part of me
When will you let me be?
In another life, of sound body and the mind
I am finally free from this agony

[Verse 4]
Another method to control this madness
Another medicine to work its magic
Numb and collected, I repeat this cycle
Seeking, never reaching the end

[Bridge]
I’ve grown resentful waiting for a savior
Still I’m disgusted by my own behavior
When every waking moment’s filled with sorrow
I don’t care to see tomorrow

[Chorus]
A sickness is burning
Into the roots of my soul, and I deserve it
It comes with no warning
And seeps beyond the surface
Spend most nights paralyzed
And every task is a new mountain before me
Can’t cut ties, can’t deny
This battle never ends
