Intrusive Thoughts - Darke Complex

Solace in this solitude is what I had sought

Applauding God and his facade

There’s comfort in this fraud

I’m just the son he’d gone and forgot

I gave up on myself, my health, and hope of any help

May Hell accept me as the spawn of what this world has dealt

My teeth are metaphors of everything that I deplore

Hollow, flawed, and falling from the awful height of twenty floors

As I descend, feel my knees bend

Indifferent, apathetic glances across the cement

When my face met at least it kissed the pavement

The ground gave me more sympathy and grief than what their stares meant

As I descend, feel my knees bend

Indifferent, apathetic glances across the cement

When my face met at least it kissed the pavement

The ground gave me more sympathy and grief than what their stares meant

Harbored dark thoughts

Got the cops calling spots where my body might drop

Voices in my closet talk

Jaws click and gossip

Who the notches in my bedpost are

Hear them knock before I toss myself

All for naught

I mock and scoff

And hop onto the windowsill

A father and his daughter paused

To stop and watch

Then walk it off

Forgot my face

Confirmed my faith

The human race has lost its cause

Dancing with the devil by the moonlight

Head filled with some moonshine

Led and pirouetted out the room by my bruised thighs

Loose stride

Moving through the booze 'til the brew’s dry

Used to abuse

So what’s it to you, right?

Delusions of grandeur used to subdue doubt

Until it perfused through my body like gout

Then it consumed more than I had allowed

Exhuming the tombs of neurosis aground

Confusion and laughter from the ruthless crowd

Assuming the stupid kid would turn around

A nuisance, a loser, whose head’s in the clouds

Too far removed from the earth to be found

And the crows gather round

So concerned now they stand on common ground

And the crows gather round

So concerned now they stand on common ground

Murders perched and watched me rot

They brought with them intrusive thoughts
