This song is about dealing with mental health issues and struggling with suicide attempts and self image issues, but getting the help you need/deserve and moving forward past those struggles as a better person.
lyrics
I've fallen ill,
Time, frozen still.
I am worthless.
Ingesting spiteful words I simply must deserve,
Growing empty in a cold and desolate world.
The razor speaks, it's calling out my name.
Screwed reflections have made me feel ashamed.
My suicidal thoughts have crossed me once again,
So I place this blade, against my skin.
I drift away,
But I awake.
I once was ashamed, but now I wake.
Within times of trial, I had grown weak.
I will never make that same mistake.
I will overcome, and push through pain.
Blis-tering fear,
You drew me near.
I, will choose life.
Encompass light.
Another soul, in an imperfect world.
Has shown me comfort, in which I don't deserve.
Among shadows, we dance within our words.
The razor speaks, its calling out my name.
But my perception, has ultimately changed.
I will not fail,
I've, become more.
I will not break,
I'll Build off the pain.
