Plastic Wrap and Tape

from I Was Awake by I Was Awake

lyrics

Born of a nightmare
A new place to call home.
Connected to a calling,
Unspoken of or known.
Obsessed, inciting closure…
Addiction’s crippling hold.
Calculations all but routine,
A strict un-abiding code.

With homicidal tendencies, dedication so depraved.
Unremorseful …tonight’s the night, they won’t be saved.

To feel all but something
Would be a welcomed change.
So hollowed out and trained well
To stop the past replayed.
Please seal me tight…
In plastic wrap and tape.
And dump me with the others
Into that watery grave.

Your stare, so vacant
As if there’s nothing there.
Your glare so piercing,
Eerily aware…
Of what we’re really after,
And what we have inside.
We hide right here in plain sight
The world just passing by.

You’re way too good a liar and unquestionable at best.
Attempts impeding your justice could render quite a mess.

To feel all but something
Would be a welcomed change.
So hollowed out and trained well
To stop the past replayed.
Please seal me tight…
In plastic wrap and tape.
And dump me with the others
Into that watery grave.

To only complete strangers, you’ve shown who you really are.
Quite a cast of characters have come and passed thus far.
And how far will you take this? And when will you be caught?
Seen for who you really are now, the masked ripped off and tossed.

Yeah how far will you take this? When the fuck will you be caught?
Suspicions are arising…As very well they ought.
And who will turn your over? And who will turn their back?
Who will you really trust now, when all you’ve known is gone…?

And now it’s finally over.
I feel relief at last.
Who’ll carry on with my work?
There’s so much blood to cast.

To feel all but something
Would be a welcomed change.
So hollowed out and trained well
To stop the past replayed.
Seal me tight…
In plastic wrap and tape.
And dump me with the others
Into that watery grave.

To feel all but all but something
Would heed a welcomed change.
All hollowed out and trained well
To stop the past replayed.
Seal me tight…
In plastic wrap and tape.
Please kill me with the others
The only fate you’ve saved.
