Coping Mechanism Lyrics by Maulskull

0

Tell me how your pain works
And does it stay within you permanently?
When every word you let them say begins to hurt you gently?
This heavy burden that you made was just to learn there's really nothing at the bottom of that plate they tried to serve you empty
You curse on everything you touch
So let us feel the anger that your severed fingers clutch
We don't get to leave the danger for a better reason once and life's the queen of haters so you never bring her much
Tell me how your pain is toxic and it's rotten to the core and how it leaves you feeling lost and more forgotten than before
You don't believe in being bought and sold for profit anymore
I guess we'll see if you can stop them when they're knocking at your door
An open coffin on the floor and it's waiting for you to climb into it
When time has ruined everything you love while you're flying through it
And life is losing when you really won if you lied to do it
They draw the line in the sand and decide the side you're choosing
CHORUS:
And this could be my coping mechanism every time I'm feeling broken from the world I get to live in I'ma know
That even when it's hopeless I can hope it isn't over 'cause I know I keep you closer to me even when you go (repeat)
VERSE TWO:
I still remember your face in the picture perfect memories that I visit with often
For the different worded remedies with their limited options
Not a bit concerned with anything that we didn't accomplish
So we lived as worthless centerpieces with little to promise
Given an honest chance to show you that I cared
I know your prayers were never answered and I hope you left them there
You don't need them
So show them that your foes are unprepared and that you know there ain't' nobody there to hold you when you're scared
I can see you feel the rain with no protection from the fear of knowing everything is fake and so pretentious when it's clear and transparent
So pay them no attention when they're near
We think they're perfect but they hate their own refections in the mirror
And I could say it's just a catalyst for hate and envy
And how it's made to overshadow us and drain us empty
And now it's taken so much out of us we're saving every little bit of faith to go without it till the day we're ready
CHORUS:
And this could be my coping mechanism every time I'm feeling broken from the world I get to live in I'ma know
That even when it's hopeless I can hope it isn't over 'cause I know I keep you closer to me even when you go (repeat)
VERSE THREE:
So let me coast
And let me feel the need to chase the ghost of who I thought I used to be before the fear replaced the hopes
I feel like every other time I seem to think I make it close
I realize that I've become the very thing I hate the most
No home
I've been to fucking hell and it's cold
Fell in a hole with dark dwellers in my skeleton skull
Telling my whole life story while I'm selling my soul
How many miles for your glory am I willing to go?
I don't know
But you left in the beginning of the spring so you never got those flowers that I didn't get to bring
And you never heard those ballads that I didn't get to sing
I guess I waited so long they finally didn't mean a thing, huh?
And sometimes I wanna stare at your angel
Then I realize it's just an empty chair at the table
Where you sat the last time that you were there with your halo
And a smile for my tears as you faded with the day slow...
CHORUS:
And this could be my coping mechanism every time I'm feeling broken from the world I get to live in I'ma know
That even when it's hopeless I can hope it isn't over 'cause I know I keep you closer to me even when you go (repeat)
