Underoath - My Deteriorating Incline lyrics

rate me

here am I

Someone please turn on the lights

I'm not fine, I'm not fine

How can I

Find my way from this little cellar they call life

Down here I tear out my veins and tie them to the chair

This goes on and on and on

Unraveled in contortions I run for the door

This goes on and on and on

Hold on

Hold on

Hold on

To my own destruction

I fall face first, I fall face first

Watch me descend

I'm on display

This cycle of human decay

I feel it lurking in the corners

I watch it tracking up my arm

I am the anchor, I am the anchor

I am the anchor, I am the anchor

Bound to my existence

Bound to my existence

I make peace with the parasites I live among

Paralyzed, I watch them colonize

As I sit here and just fall apart

The beggars and choosers are all the same

The default reaction will never change

So, I catch a glimpse of my own reflection

From a shard of glass left on the floor

The beggars and choosers are all the same

The default reaction will never change

It's time to restart

Reassemble what's left of my body

It's time to restart

Pick me up and walk away

Uproot the anchor, Uproot the anchor

Uproot the anchor, Uproot the anchor

Walk right out the door

Walk right out the door

I'll change for the better

It can't get much worse

I'll swallow my own pride

And then accept defeat

Accept defeat

Accept defeat
