Skorn, Roosevelt - The Ghost of a King Lyrics

Voices echo inside my head
Reverberating through my skull I'm better off dead
Shadows fuck me inside my bed
Strangled by sheets the color blood red

Black rose petal scattered on the floor
I know I can't take this anymore
The queen of despair is beating down my door
She came dressed to kill and covered in gore

The ghost of a king he lives within me
He's trying to escape he's shown me in my dreams
The writings on the wall but I don't know what it means
I've given my eyes so the blind can see

I'm lying naked on the floor again
I can't let this monster win
The battle with myself never ends
The battle with myself NEVER ENDS

Destroy the mirror
Face to face with myself can I make this clearer
Purge the villain
I know I'm my worst cynic

Embrace the critics
Eat them alive with no pitty
Nobody to dismember
No I'm not quiting

I am the specter of who I used to be
I'm Fighting with myself I'm conquering my dreams
I am a specter no need for sympathy

I bribe my mind to comply Erase my apathy
It's time to get this party started pour the kerosine
It doesn't hurt me when you bleed Erase my empathy
I'm only at war with myself so why you mad at me
I'm Tryna understand why the fuck is this happening.

Voices echo inside my head
Reverberating through my skull I'm better off dead
Shadows fuck me inside my bed
Strangled by sheets the color blood red

Black rose petal scattered on the floor
I know I can't take this any more
The queen of despair is beating down my door
She came dressed to kill and covered in gore

The ghost of a king he lives within me
He's trying to escape he's shown me in my dreams
The writings on the wall but I don't know what it means
I've given my eyes so the blind can see

I'm lying naked on the floor again
I can't let this monster win
The battle with myself never ends
The battle with myself NEVER ENDS

Devour my reflection
I hate this deflection
I'm way too fucking reckless
Come join my collection

Of corpses hanging on the wall
I'm battered but I create the law
I tried but can't save them all

You know that I'm Lost cause
Fuck that bitch you know I'm going in raw
Standing over myself feeling ten feet tall

Preparing for the final assault
Self hatred is the default

Delete me
Erase me
Uninstall me
I'm not crazy

Self hatred
I'm wasted
Take me out of this simulation

Mind pacing
Thoughts waning
Heart racing
Foul collaboration

I'm torn between life and devastation
Split between my mental state and emancipation

I will not fall
I will not fall apart
I will not fall
I will not fall apart
I will not fall
Fall apart
Fall apart
Fall apart
