Bitter Sleep - City State

A broken song sliced apart

Through the muffle of my bitter sleep

Ensnared by death, I call out

Take me to the river and cleanse my former self

Of the agony I suffered here

Death has held my head above water for three long years

Take me or fucking leave me

I’m sick of fighting for every breath

What’s the point of holding me to life

If it’s no better than death?

Collapse

The blood in my veins is filled with poison

Suffering behind the guise of a healing potion

An unseen hand has taken me hostage

The life I once held fades to grey

Let me sleep the night away

My suffering can’t last forever

I’ve broken enough, death take me

Your presence taunts me

I’m starting to lose my grip on reality

Cleanse me of my own body (My own body)

What’s the point of holding me to life

If it’s no better than death?

Three years have passed

And I’ve been suppressing my last breath

I can see the end, take me

There’s no fighting my disease

I’ll succumb to the illness inside me

Pain has shredded every bit of uncertainty

An unseen hand has taken me hostage

The life I once held fades to grey

Let me sleep the night away

My family, forgive me

I’m sorry

You know I’ve been fighting this whole time

Please look me in the eye
