Immersed in Ire - Ben Mason, Viscera

There is something to be said about resilience

The more it hurts, the greater the resistance

But I can’t shake the fear in my subconscious

Everything you are is toxic, I close my eyes

I dread the torment of the war yet to come, I’m paralysed

Visions of demons tearing down the walls around my heart (Run)

There’s no place better for these things that I hide

Than in the darkest reaches of my fragile mind

And when the nightmares return

You will have nowhere to run

Ire

Black void, you’re singing to me, it’s so easy

Hypnotise me as you render my mind weak

Suffering in an anchored state, regression

Pulling me into depression, I close my eyes

A flame chain on my lungs, it burns me from the inside

I’m paralysed

My eyes fade into the blistering fire (Run)

A haze I forever desire

Mind abort me from this callous husk

I’m sick of lying awake at night, seething

Made my home in a world of collisions

All the things that I feared came to being

A victim of my own visions

The taste was sweet and the route was certain

Now it’s treacherous and twisted

There is no real course of action now to take

But forget you were there, forget you existed

You fucking fail me

Ire

Bearing down on me

Ire

End this misery

And when the nightmares return

You will have nowhere to run

Ire, ire

And now it’s finally done

You aren’t a friend of mine, no friend to anyone

This has taken too much, more than I can allow

It’s hard to feel elation with all that weight on your brow

And now you’re finally done

A danger to yourself, a ticking time bomb

It’s no surprise your life is fucking heading south

It’s hard to smell the roses with all that shit in your mouth
