lyrics
If you stare at a blank wall long enough,
You’ll start to see patterns where there are none.
Little flecks of paint or smears or dry rot,
Little stains of what you’ve become.
Spreading like a fungus
Across your stinking hole of existence.
Just keep staring.
The fungus might diffuse,
Might even produce
A little bit of meaning.
I just stared at the walls cause there was something wrong,
My walls were beige. Plain. Plain as they come.
Across, there was a fungus eating my walls.
And eating my mind.
I didn’t know it at all.
I just stared at the walls and tried to ignore,
That being alive was becoming a chore.
I was breaking down. I was giving up,
I was becoming the wall I was building up.
We want to live.
We want to ache.
I want to suffer,
I wanted to break.,
The heart ticks harshly against a beating clock.
Spitting poison through my vessels and into my thoughts.
We want to live.
We want to thrive.
I want despair.
I want to die.
The walls they pulse with the temples’ beat,
And I don’t want to hear it,
No I don’t want to hear it.
But I can feel it.
I can feel it.
I can feel it.
I can feel it spreading like a fungus,
Across the whole of my existence.
It’s what I’ve become,
Now it’s who I am,
I would try to resist it, but I know I can’t.
It’s spreading like a fungus.
Spreading like a fungus.
It’s what I’ve become now,
It’s who I am now.
Spreading like a fungus.
Spreading like a fungus.
Now it’s who I am now.
I would try to resist it,
But it’s spreading like a fungus
