Comfortable Annihilation

from Bloodstains by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

Sneaking up behind you, better keep your wits about,
‘Cause it’s coming back around,
Gonna kick you down and knock you to the ground,

Rising up inside you, better try to block it out,
Muffled screams and choking shouts,
Gonna rip your throat and squeeze out all the sound,

Closing in beside you, better clench your fists and swing,
Cause you’re missing everything,
Gonna break your bones and cut through fraying seams,

Feel it going through you, better bind up those loose nerves,
Cause it’s really going to hurt,
Gonna make sure that you get what you deserve,

An uncomfortable annihilation of a comfortable and nightly lie,
That I can see through constant mist to a lifeboat that I missed,
Gonna fuck it up again and every time.

Lashing out around you, better take cover and duck,
‘Cause you’re too easily wound up,
Gonna box you in until you’re frozen stuck,

Breaking down above you, better up and run away,
‘Cause that mess is here to stay,
Gonna put the pieces back all the wrong way,

An uncomfortable annihilation of a comfortable and nightly lie,
That I can see through constant mist to a lifeboat that I missed.
Gonna fuck it up again and every time.

Hate is always close, hate to say I told you so,
Hate is always near, hate through an ever constant fear,
Hate out of hand, kiss goodbye to all our plans,
Hate in my head, keeps coming back to this...

Uncomfortable annihilation of a comfortable and nightly lie,
That I can see through constant mist, to a lifeboat that I missed.
Gonna fuck it up again and every time,

Mapped out behind you, better hope directions change,
‘Cause I lost my way again.
