Kafka’s Insect

This can’t be quite right

This same old hell tonight

Nowhere I can run and hide

The windows closed to block out light

It all seems so simple now like just taking another hit

Through my teary eyes with venom pouring over my busted lip

A dull blade to sever anything we had that used to connect

So I open my eyes and awake as Kafka’s insect

And my head spins and spins until our eyes meet

For a flash of sensation you know I’d give most anything

I give my very heart and soul, sign my name on the dotted line

Your warm hand on my neck makes me wanna close my eyes

I wanna run away and hide my name

I don’t wanna take that blame

A connection shot to bits leaving behind memories

Eating myself alive until there’s nothing here left of me

I shed countless tears over a warmth not meant for me

I’m blinded by regrets on another night where I find no sleep

I’ve spent my life covering shame with more shame

I guess it’s only right if I take the blame

Anxiety fuels a nightmare that never ends

My throat is tied by strings of neglect

Tell me, what’s the point of our pride?

I find it’s meaningless and has no sight

Worship and courtship, I can’t really see the point

It all breaks eventually just like our childish toys

But I never really cared for love of that kind

I find it all ends the same every time
