VCTMS
Numb the Ache
Time neglects these wounds that need addressing
Harbors any attempt at slow progression
How do I keep a restraint on my aggression?
Cause I’ve grown tired of suppressing the way that I feel

Kill the ache
Ease the pain
Level the blade
Free my mistakes
Take me away

Regressing fast is a slow defeat
This illness killing off the better parts of me
Bound by my medications
They keep me alive
In a world run by greed
Can I afford to live?
Will I get by?
Will I get by?
Thousands to keep me breathing
Zero to just let me die

When I was younger, that’s when I truly live
Life was exciting but it all went to shit
As time went on, everything changed
The past is the past, it’ll never be the same
I can’t help but to fall back on the memories
How they all faded and now that part
Just feels dead to me, out of reach
I know I’m losing a battle
That never seemed to belong to me
I’m only 23, but half my life is spent
If you’re not rich in health
You may as well be dead
Nobody tells you there’s no room for the diseased
Collapsing beneath a world run by greed
You’ve taken everything
Why let me be free?
Struggle in silence, I can’t be seen
Thousands to keep me breathing
Zero to just let me die
