"Anesthetic" lyrics

Catch my breath and fall out of bed
How long does it take anesthetic to kick in?
On my knees and clutching my chest
Administer the venom with a lustrous kiss

I can hear a chorus of whispers sung through skeletal trees
I can hear the thunder resounding born from butterfly wings
I watch the silver rain fall down on me
And now I see here in the end
Everyone plays, no one wins

I try to run but I just can't keep up
And all the blood on the sheets won't clean off
And you wonder why I've been so withdrawn
I try to run but I just can't keep up
I fall apart and I can't find the pieces
Been asking myself where I went wrong
Am I too far gone

Tell myself it's all in my head
Curtains dancing something like a ghost in the wind
Paralyzed and stuck in your web
Counting down the seconds til I cease to exist

I can see a scrap metal carcass
Worn and rusted away
I can see a nightmare of fire
Take this wooden ribcage
I watched the veins of god turn black with disease
And now I see here in the end
Everyone plays, no one wins

I try to run but I just can't keep up
And all the blood on the sheets won't clean off
And you wonder why I've been so withdrawn
I try to run but I just can't keep up
I fall apart and I can't find the pieces
Been asking myself where I went wrong
Am I too far gone
