Vicegrip

(Vicegrip)

The embers start to glow and the numbness sets in
Inside, war drums are beating
It’s left me in the throes of self-destruction
Why can’t I learn to accept the truth?

We’re left here bargaining
We’re starving for another point of view
I know it’s unavoidable but I can’t release you yet

Vicegrip, show me how to live
I fear it’s wearing thin
Just give me one more hit
I’m spiraling
Vicеgrip, need you to exist
My brain cannot resist
Just give mе one more hit
I’m spiraling

The eulogy repeats in the silence they sing
Last chance to prove to myself I’m fine
We’re losing it again as the virus sets in
Backslide to numb all the pain you dealt

We’re left here bargaining
We’re starving for another point of view
I know it’s unavoidable but I can’t release you

Vicegrip, show me how to live
I fear it’s wearing thi
Just give me one more hit
I’m spiraling
Vicegrip, need you to exist
My brain cannot resist
Just give me one more hit
I’m spiraling

How do you cope in a world
That’s constantly fading from my view?
How will you run from the promises you made to me?
You’re the reason I can’t find peace
Vicegrip, show me how to live
I crawl out of my skin

Vicegrip, show me how to live
I fear it’s wearing thin
Just give me one more hit
I’m spiraling
Vicegrip, need you to exist
My brain cannot resist
Just give me one more hit
I’m spiraling
