Carefully // Caged by VCTMS Lyrics

[Chorus]
Watch me as I suffocate
Medication to soothe my aches
Numbs my constant fear of change
Addiction is a slow decay
Watch me as I suffocate
Medication to soothe my aches
Restless shakes, bruised veins
God, will I ever fucking feel safe? Oh

[Verse 1]
I fell in love with my depression
The only thing that was consistent
I hated how empty I felt
But at least it kept me distant
Everything I love will slowly dissipate
Everyone I know will be ripped away
What's the fucking point? It's getting harder to pretend
How do escape the relativity in this?

[Hook]
Nothing is beautiful, nothing is forever
That thought alone strips me of my efforts
Nothing is beautiful, no nothing lasts forever
That thought alone strips me of my efforts
[Verse 2: Darius Tehrani]
Maybe when I'm older I won't be so scared to die
Maybe in time death won't be so fragile in my mind
I fell in love with my depression
The only thing that was consistent
I've hated how empty I've felt
But at least it's kept me distant
(Spite)

[Chorus]
Watch me as I suffocate
Medication to soothe my aches
Numbs my constant fear of change
Addiction is a slow decay
Watch me as I suffocate
Medication to soothe my aches
Restless shakes, bruised veins
God, will I ever fucking feel safe?

[Breakdown]
Addiction is a slow decay, oh

[Outro]
Feelings of neglect, feelings of regret
How the fuck could I ever forget?
I'm addicted to despondency
It bleeds into everything
