ZILF - Scurvytown Lyrics

Wow, hit the deck
Did you forget that I was still a wreck?
You must regret the effects of this reoccurring mess
So let's address this once and for all

Everything looks in order, there's a smile on every face
Could it be the misery ran a mile from this place?
What if I've been accepted or has my mind just been erased?
Trying to solve the mystery of the source of my distaste

I've been so welcomed by this faction
But still I question the attraction from both sides

There's something on my mind that's really bugging me
Gradually it appears to me that all is not what it seems

I see my shadow from the fire on the wall
You hear the voice of reason, will you heed its call?

Steadily growing tired of replaying this boring game
Going through all the motions of indifference and blame
Detached but still invested in this dangerous house of cards
Poker faces re-emerge and gradually
I find myself taken into the fold

I helped put this place on the map for
All the wrong f*cking reasons
Leaving to build a life but
Getting accused of treason
Is it unfair of me to
Not care if I don't please them?
Need to preserve my freedom
Got to escape this

Prison
These invisible bars that reflect in her eyes
Will I leave this place alive?

I see my shadow from the fire on the wall
You hear the voice of reason, will you heed its call?
Douse the flame gently for what's next remains unknown
Once I saw shadows now I see nothing at all

The smoke clears
A distant sun appears

Goodbyes
Won't seal the past behind me
Thrive

My mind wonders what's over these walls
What could be worse than this life-changing hole?
Burn this town to the ground because I know
That beyond this grave is a place I can go to rest
Am I crazy
For what this place has made me?
Part of me wants to go
Back

Rose-tinted glasses on the eyes of the schizophrenic
Imposters suffocating life with the esoteric
Rose-tinted glasses on the eyes of the schizophrenic
Imposters suffocating life with the esoterical lies

Don't you realise
Your trust in me was worthless?
You never had me from the start
But you don't mind and that's why
Ignorance is bliss
Those stab-wounds in the backs
Of all those naïve souls
Who left their trust so blindly in your hands

Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again

My heart grows fonder like a toxic cyst
The longer I stay the longer I don't exist
I can't stay
Tied to this apparatus awaiting the plane to catch
So paint a cross on the door behind us
Because we're not coming back

Don't you realise
Your trust in me was worthless?
You never had me from the start
But you don't mind and that's why
Ignorance is bliss
Those stab-wounds in the backs
Of all those naïve souls
Who left their trust so blindly in your hands
