Wrapped in plastic

blank page / clean slate / Baptized in heartbreak 
How much more can I take? 
Emotionally bankrupt / Programmed to destruct 
Lower the bar while raising the stakes 

Caught in the grip / As my mind starts to slip 
matter of time before my health starts to fade 
No fountains of you / Just a downpour of truth 
And memories of back in the day 

Ashes ripped from saline skies / Masochistic rites 

lifeless look in your eyes / Lost in your masquerade 
Continue with the charade / Pretending that you're still alive 
Cocaine casualty / Predetermined duality 
Liver spots as kidneys fail / Wrapped in a plastic veil 

Ashes ripped from saline skies / Masochistic rites 
Salt the tear and dim your eyes / The light berates the night 

The scent of stain we can't erase / Encased in our embrace 
Soiled skin and open wounds / Entombed amongst the waste 

I see right through your disguise / The eyes they never lie 
Deception drips from your lips / And revenge crosses my mind 

Left wrapped in plastic down by the shore 
Blood clotting scarlet both harlot and [bad word] 
The scent of perfume I cannot ignore 
And this faith that I cannot restore
