Unveil from Unveil by ElysianSoul

Swallowing my torment,
So I don’t have to think,
This ever gnawing feeling,
To lose myself in drink,
So tempted by a relapse,
A taste of what I’ve missed,
The more that I consume,
The stronger they insist.

Walking skeleton,
Long covered up in flesh,
Hidden from the world,
All the things that you do best,
Can I tempt you to a relapse?
A taste of what you’ve missed,
The more that you consume,
The stronger I insist.

The harder you resist,
The more that I persist,
Defences down, can’t save you now,
Your body’s in my grip.

So blackout and lose control,
Intoxicated,
Old feelings will start to flow,
Awakening in my mind,
It echoes through me,
The sickness I left behind.
So tear down my mental fortress,
Give me the darkness,
‘Cause I know the sun will rise,
Until then, I choose these poisons,
Reveal the voices,
Unveil my shadow side.

Pale and sullen child,
Have you long forgot,
How they body shamed and blamed you,
And left you there to rot?
You sucked in your cheeks,
And plucked at your waist,
Ran laps around the playground,
And tried to waste away.

Traumas lying dormant,
Horrors turned to scars,
Festering in cages,
Clawing at the bars,
Waiting for their moment,
Their opportunity,
To draw you on in closer,
Begging to be free.

The harder you resist,
The more that I persist,
Defences down, can’t save you now,
Your body’s in my grip.

Blackout and lose control,
Intoxicated,
Old feelings will start to flow,
Awakening in my mind,
It echoes through me,
The sickness I left behind.
So tear down my mental fortress,
Give me the darkness,
Cause I know the sun will rise,
Until then, I choose these poisons,
Reveal the voices,
Unveil my shadow side.

So blackout and lose control,
Intoxicated,
Old feelings will start to flow,
Awakening in my mind,
It echoes through me,
The sickness I left behind.
So tear down my mental fortress,
Give me the darkness,
Cause I know the sun will rise,
Until then, I choose these poisons,
Reveal the voices,
Unveil my shadow side.
