POISONED FREQUENCIES // KEVIN SHORTFUSE

I know this place from front to back
My attendance record shows
I’m here again in this dark place
But for reasons I don’t know

Like watching an old movie, yeah
The plot’s always the same
I know just what’s to come
And I know who’s to blame

It isn’t just a matter of letting go
It’s rewiring these synapses
That let the feeling grow
Threatening all semblance of control
Awaking dormant parts of me
That tune in poisoned frequencies

I’m sorry I couldn’t explain myself
And had to put it in a song
I’d split my skull wide open
If I thought it would fix the wrong

I’ve seen this show a thousand times
Every episode’s the same
Although I can’t admit it
I still know who’s to blame

It isn’t just a matter of letting go
It’s rewiring these synapses
That let the feeling grow
Threatening all semblance of control
Awaking dormant parts of me
That tune in poisoned frequencies

I won’t give in
To this sad plight
Ignoring all compulsion
To fight or flight

The curtain falls
Stand idly by
A victim of myself
No matter how I try

It isn’t just a matter of letting go
It’s rewiring these synapses
That let the feeling grow
Threatening all semblance of control
Awaking dormant parts of me
That tune in poisoned frequencies

The curtain falls
Stand idly by
A victim of myself
No matter how I try
