Gearwound - Automatic Failure

Nothing inside Nothing waiting Systems online Soul not responding I wake up hollow Like a room after fire Walls still standing But nothing alive Every thought Feels borrowed Every breath Feels late I’m not breaking down I’m eroding At a perfectly measured rate No feeling No fear Just motion Year after year No warning No sign Just running myself Past the red line I don’t crash I decay I don’t scream I wear away Self-destruction On a timer Quiet damage No survivors I sabotage Without intent I don’t want death I just don’t prevent I am empty I am done Still moving Like a loaded gun No trigger pull No release Just pressure building Underneath This isn’t sadness This isn’t pain This is absence Left running unchecked I don’t hate myself I just don’t stop Watching everything Rot Every choice Leads nowhere Every road Ends the same I’m not searching For meaning I’m just feeding The flame Not to burn Not to feel Just to prove This is real No hope No dread Just killing time Inside my head No future No past Just wearing out What couldn’t last I am hollow I am void No relief No noise Self-destruct Engaged and slow No explosion Just the glow Still breathing Still here Still nothing To disappear
