Lyrics 22 Faces - Periphery

22 Faces

Staring at the hourglass
My life it feels like a machine running with no direction
Watching time as it draws a perception obscene from a resurrection
Choking on reality
The walls of my insides they bleed from the excess incisions
Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings
From the core of me
I’m dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
Ice cold in the flames burning all around
So blind to the beauty of sleep
It feels like the walls are melting, freezing into me
Have I lost track of time?
Yeah!
Why can’t I feel the burn?
Staring at the hourglass
My life it feels like a machine running with no direction
Drawn and quartered by the monster who pulls on the strings
In my resurrection
(Yeah!) Whoa, yeah I’m dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
Whoa, yeah I’m dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out (inside out)
When the frustration makes a move
The second hand will swallow you
It’s tearing a hole inside
I’m buried alive
The smell of flesh is seeping into my range
Thrashing, hoping for a better way
The push, the pull
It’s tearing apart my will to thrive in the day
Pins and needles jabbing into my veins
On the verge of losing sanity
The beast tears and I can’t do a thing about it
Whoa, yeah I’m dying to see what it is that is eating away at me
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
Fuck me, I am dying for sleep
What exactly is eating away at me?
Now the stars are the sun in my world
They burn from the inside out
