Everyone has been to their own land of no return before.
~ Come back. ~
I was relying too much on the demons that plagued me.
A thousand times I bled, thinking it the only way to save me.
They kept cutting deeper, and I relied on the beautiful pain.
I slipped more into your darkness, thinking it was the only way.
Thinking it was the only way.
There have been thorns on roses we've been so daring to touch.
They left scars on our calloused hearts, but our minds became drugged.
So, we took on a strange addiction, quickly stealing our souls away.
We've been persuaded we would stay static, but out minds became insane.
Quickly stealing our souls away.
We've gone to the Land of No Return, falling down a thorny rabbit hole.
We've seen such visions and actions that only we're smart enough to know.
Time and time again, we've become accustomed to the same pattern.
We still like to play with fire, but only so we can feel the burn.
Accustomed to the same pattern.
But this is the way that we needed it to be, isn't it?
Isn't it the demons and the chaos that we found complete comfort in?
Aren't they the ones who helped us cope when we thought we couldn't?
No. In reality, we shot the gun as we were taking their bullets.
Taking their bullets.
We're all relying too much on the demons that plague us.
Bleeding a thousand times, they'll never save us.
It seems as though we're all just slaves to our own afflictions.
We're old enough now to learn to break free from our additions.
Break free from our addictions.
The Land of No Return seems like such a beautiful place.
I've learned it is just a hideout for all the demons we won't face.
Now we're not fooled by a craving so tempting and taunting.
We realized there was something much better we could be wanting.
So tempting and taunting.
I've been to The Land of No Return and back again.
It's an experience not many can comprehend.
We're back now, but afraid we'll find it again one day.
At least now we know that it's not the only way.
Not the only way.
