[Intro] . [Verse] I've been stuck in the past, a shadow cast And my future isn't bright anymore Shook my bones down to my core [Verse] Dim and grim, and disappointing A malcontent, foul and mourning Something from a fantasy A reality that was never me, a lie grotesque and malformed [Chorus] Sketched out, manufactured, and mutilated Self masticated Dedicated to the erasure of myself [Instrumental] . [Verse] I'm getting pricked and ripped and penetrated By the fears I let in They hold and caress me, beat and abuse me In ways only a lover can [Chorus] Sketched out, manufactured, and mutilated Self masticated Dedicated to the erasure of myself [Instrumental] . [Outro/Fade Out] I've faded away, gotta face the facts I'm the memory of a lie, but I keep looking back Only to see it's all gone to black
