For The Likes Of You
Villains & Victims
[Verse 1: Austin Dickey]
Wither over time
Erasing traces of damaged pasts
Eliminating everything
Carving deeper
Stretched to the brim of splintered openings Exposed thoughts spill onto the canvas
Painting a blur with blood stained ink
Pouring out of my veins
I feel enlightened to feel pain
[Chorus]
In my heart I feel off time beats
Patterns unfamiliar to me
Subconsciously aware, but not alarmed or frightened
Inviting sounds escape my chest as my wonder grows greater
The air gets thicker
I can't help but think that the warmth I'm feeling
Is my soul depleting
[Verse 2]
I see now as I burst back into reality
My blood splattered across the room
Covering every inch of space in thick shades of abstract red
My visions blurred my tongue is numb
The whites of my eyes now block out my sight
I'm panicked, panting exhausted from the fight
I'm dying, losing the battle for my life
As I fade back into my trance
I see the silhouette of the one held responsible
(The one held responsible)
