Terminal Velocity Lyrics

Lyrics by Mike Dupree and Faith In Ruin

Spiraling, forever sinking and twisting into an unsound frame of mind where nothing fits
Nothing stops the itch so I
dig, dig, until I feel something again
dig, dig, some semblance of giving a shit
But I keep sinking deeper
I'll sink as low as it takes to keep her
I can't remember the last time I felt this way for a landmine
Drag my compassion and empathy out into the light
Kill it right in front of me, I need to watch it die
Keep your eyes on the blind side
Nothing is conceived that isn't contrived
Symmetry is all that matters to a decaying mind
Drowning in the ID, debating with the ego the difference between costume and disguise
It's a curious sensation having your head in the clouds, knowing the fucking landing gear is out
My heart needs a home that my mind can't reach
It's thrown itself against the gears of the other machines
again, and again, once more unto the breach
seal up the wall with the dead so perception and pain never meet
I can hear them inside my head, pulling at the threads that unmake me
