I am sick of singing the same fucking song because all I do will always remain wrong.
Each crossroads leads to the same damn thing; empty, hollow bodies with broken wings.
I guess it’s just we were never meant to fly and all regret tells me is: why oh why.
I am done with this life of endless, internal strife.
Nothing can ever save me from this.
I hardly even fucking exist.
The best of men live indecent lives and each step feels like I’m walking on knives.
I want to put this to an end.
It’s all crashing down again.
I am so far from repentance so crucify me with ignorance.
I close my eyes, but it never ends.
I lost my heart with every gust of wind.
My life constantly defines sin but apathetic is all I’ve ever been.
So far from what I want, your ghost continues to haunt.
I try to leave it all be, but internal darkness blinds me.
I guess that this is closure, losing all of my composure.
Black out my mind and make me blind.
Black out my mind and take all you find.
It’s getting harder to fucking smile.
I keep walking the same square mile.
And I’m nervous about the end cause love is a message I’ll never send.
I’ve lived enough of this curse, each day I just seem to get worse.
When the sun sets, it always rains.
Another way for me to remember the pain.
And no one cares cause no one’s there.
I’m wasting time grasping for air.
How do I dream if I can’t sleep anymore?
I don’t want to know what else is in store.
There is no hope in anything I do.
I will never give myself up to you.
I’ve heard your words spoken through and through and none of them resonate as true.
I will not kneel for something I can’t feel.
I’m not sorry you’re burning alive.
Life was just something you couldn’t survive.
The more I fight, the farther I fall.
I just want someone to take it all.
So far from what I was meant to be.
No future left, this isn’t even me.
Lost sight of everyone that left me behind.
I can’t keep up with hope I’ll never find.
Embrace me, my fear.
Erase me, my dear.
Embrace me, my fear.
Erase me.
