Excessive Abuse

The walls are screaming silent lies
Bruised knuckles trace the thin disguise
A shattered mirror
Cracked and crude
Reflects the wreckage of my mood

Excessive abuse
It's a twisted game
Burns like fire
But it numbs the shame
Excessive abuse
Can't break the chain
It's a shadow dancing in the rain

The clock is ticking
Hands of spite
Each second drags me deeper in the fight
Blood on the pages
A story untold
Scars that whisper
A heart turned cold

What's the cost of all this pain
When you drown in acid rain

Excessive abuse
It's a twisted game
Burns like fire
But it numbs the shame
Excessive abuse
Can't break the chain
It's a shadow dancing in the rain

How do you fight what you can't see
A ghost that grins so wickedly
Chains of smoke
They hold me tight
Losing battles in the dead of night
