lyrics

I senselessly indulge in self destructive mechanisms
Completely unaware of the damage I'm causing
What does it take to break out of a cycle so ingrained?
How do you summon the willpower or any amount of strength towards fighting it

And why should I suffer? What did I ever do?
Longing to be alone, isolated from anyone and everything I've ever loved
To peacefully yet regretfully end this existence
Yet, I am absolutely terrified of the prospect

I love my friends, my family and everyone around me
Why must I spend so much of my limited time suffering
The rot in my brain so infuriatingly palpable and persistent in its decay
It feels almost irreversible in its damages

Seeping inside, fed through the rot cycle
Never to sleep, caught inside a web of despair

I'll never understand why I need to struggle so hard
To exist and lead a normal life
When for others there's little invovled in that process
Relatively pain and anxiety free
Lives lead together with one another, rather than something that just happens

Life has gone on long enough
by NONE

supported by 7 fans who also own “Rot Cycle”

On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs... Jordan Vauvert
