[Verse 1]
Swallowing my torment, so I don’t have to think
This ever-gnawing feeling to lose myself in drink
So tempted by a relapse, a taste of what I’ve missed
The more that I consume, the stronger they insist
Walking skeleton, long covered up in flesh
Hidden from the world - all the things that you do best
Can I tempt you to a relapse? A taste of what you’ve missed
The more that you consume, the stronger I insist

[Pre-Chorus]
The harder you resist
Thе more that I persist
Defеnces down
Can’t save you now
Your body’s in my grip

[Chorus]
So, black out and lose control
Intoxicated, old feelings will start to flow
Awakening in my mind, it echoes through me
The sickness I left behind
So, tear down my mental fortress
Give me the darkness, ‘cause I know the sun will rise
Until then, I choose these poisons
Reveal the voices, unveil my shadow side
[Verse 2]
Pale and sullen child, have you long forgot
How they body shamed and blamed you
And left you there to rot?
You sucked in your cheeks and plucked at your waist
Ran laps around the playground and tried to waste away
Traumas lying dormant, horrors turned to scars
Festering in cages, clawing at the bars
Waiting for their moment, their opportunity
To draw you on in closer, begging to be free

[Pre-Chorus]
The harder you resist
The more that I persist
Defences down
Can’t save you now
Your body’s in my grip

[Chorus]
So, black out and lose control
Intoxicated, old feelings will start to flow
Awakening in my mind, it echoes through me
The sickness I left behind
So, tear down my mental fortress
Give me the darkness, 'cause I know the sun will rise
Until then, I choose these poisons
Reveal the voices, unveil my shadow side
[Bridge]
Oh, my shadow side
Oh

[Chorus]
So, black out and lose control
Intoxicated, old feelings will start to flow
Awakening in my mind, it echoes through me
The sickness I left behind
So, tear down my mental fortress
Give me the darkness, 'cause I know the sun will rise
Until then, I choose these poisons
Reveal the voices, unveil my shadow side
