2. Hail To The Haze Hail to the hallucination – come here to placate Slip into my mind where I'm confined and take me away Hail to the sutures that stitch up an essence broken But how much longer – how much longer How much longer can they hold before they explode? But how much longer – how much longer How much longer can the strain conceal the pain? Hail to unconsciousness – altered and benign It cannot heal, but I can't feel so I don't care Hail to the haze that comes to keep my demons at bay But how much longer – how much longer How much longer inside can this monstrosity hide? But how much longer – how much longer How much longer must I wait to release my hate? Hail to the clarity – a hammer in my head Confirmation of fears becomes so real and is congealed Hail to the chemicals – ingest my final escape But how much longer – how much longer How much longer in this state will I be awake?
