Max Jerath – We Stab Ourselves To Sleep (37×7) [feat. Zerothson] Lyrics

When the world is wilting and you only tend to yourself
The crestfallen trudge stupidly like naïve livestock to slaughter 
Trust's a luxury only the affluent afford
The meek can't reach, time is no friend, it betrays you like cancer

The gates are burning wide, like the specter that you cherished
A malnourished cinder faintly snarling as it perished

A snake charmer, every hour skewers the frail
Needles stich shame, they're slaves to traditions that free them from mercy
Wanted dead while alive was never an option
Mortals all know only the favored secure painless killings

The gates are burning wide, like the specter that you cherished
A malnourished cinder faintly snarling as it perished

We stab ourselves to sleep my friend and no one knows our tragedy
We beat ourselves to sleep my friend and no one discerns fallacy
We choke ourselves to sleep my friend and no one loathes the vanity
We cut ourselves to sleep my friend and no one employs scrutiny

Time's not your friend
