Wrapped in plastic

A blank page / A clean slate / Baptized in heartbreak
How much more can I take?
Emotionally bankrupt / Programmed to destruct
Lower the bar while raising the stakes

Caught in the grip / As my mind starts to slip
A matter of time before my health starts to fade
No fountains of you / Just a downpour of truth
And memories of back in the day

Ashes ripped from saline skies / Masochistic rites

A lifeless look in your eyes / Lost in your masquerade
Continue with the charade / Pretending that you're still alive
Cocaine casualty / Predetermined duality
Liver spots as kidneys fail / Wrapped in a plastic veil

Ashes ripped from saline skies / Masochistic rites
Salt the tear and dim your eyes / The light berates the night

The scent of stain we can't erase / Encased in our embrace
Soiled skin and open wounds / Entombed amongst the waste

I see right through your disguise / The eyes they never lie
Deception drips from your lips / And revenge crosses my mind

Left wrapped in plastic down by the shore
Blood clotting scarlet both harlot and whore
The scent of perfume I cannot ignore
And this faith that I cannot restore
