Pain troubles me, filled up, it lives in here.
Cold air I breathe, full of mistakes I've made.

Stay back. It's out of our hands.
Try too hard. Try to understand.
It's out of our hands.
There's nothing to hide, we're helpless and this world is never changing.
And all that we had is turning to grey.

Crossed apathy, crawled up, I feel like hell.
Forced fear it seems, life has encompassed me.

Stay back. It's out of our hands.
Try too hard. Try to understand.
It's out of our hands.
There's nothing to hide, we're helpless and this world is never changing.
And all that we had is turning to grey.

I'm holding up these paper walls and you keep telling us all, "It's ok".

You turn around, you turn around and say...
You turn around, you turn around and say...
Turn around, you turn around and say...
You turn around, you turn around and say

Stay back. It's out of our hands.
Try too hard. Try to understand.
It's out of our hands.
There's nothing to hide, we're helpless and this world is never changing.
We've done all we can so cover my eyes.
We're blind at night.
This world is never changing.
And all that we have is turning to grey.

. . .


After...
After all, we are the same as we always were.
We cover and carry on, like everything's copasetic and courage we felt at all, feels like failure overcome.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can let go and feel again.

Sober, we pulled it off.
I'm clean and I'm cursed, it's one in all.
Forget the chemicals, faking the sense of self and heart.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can let go and feel again.

Wake up!
Wake up!
I'm not awake. I'm slowly burning away.
I'm not ok. I'm falling flat on my face.
Down on the pavement, I'm fighting the weight.
I'm not awake. I'm slowly burning away.

Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up!

I'm trying to breathe.
I wanna let go, so I can feel again.
I break up.
I'm trying to see if I can let go and feel again.

I'm not awake.
Feel again.
I'm not ok.

. . .


There's nothing left to give.
There's nothing left to prove.
There's nothing we can say.

We've counted every word, like stars and all the moons.
We've buried them away as I promised I would.

After the rain soaks through your bones, we carried the guilt, we carry our own.
After the pain, careless and cold, we carry the life that you'll never know.

You cursed at all the world, and you wished you never could.
You cherished everything. (That won't help us now.)
You locked yourself into a room and silenced the pain in your head.

After the rain soaks through your bones, we carried the guilt, we carry our own.
After the pain, careless and cold, we carry the life that you'll never know. No...

You couldn't cope, you cut it off and left us all. (and left us all)
I still feel the warmth you left but now all your color has faded away.

After the rain soaks through your bones, we carried the guilt, we carry our own.
After the pain, careless and cold, we carry the life that you'll never know.
...that you'll never know.
...that you'll never know.
...that you'll never know.

. . .


I don't know why I'm so caught up in covering up the past.
After all this time I, I thought I would be over you at last.
But it kills me at night, I was hoping you'd give me a second chance.

But I'm leaving it up to you, leaving it up to you.
And there's nothing that I can do.
Cause I walked away when I said I'd stay, with you.

No excuses so, I thought I'd make it better as I go.
If I could go back in time I, I wouldn't leave you waiting all alone.
I lay awake late at night.
I wish I had the courage to say no.

But I'm leaving it up to you, leaving it up to you.
And there's nothing that I can do.
Cause I walked away when I said I'd stay.
Leaving it up to you, (I wanna come back home and...)
I'm leaving it up to you. (I wanna come back home.)
And there's nothing that I can do.
Cause I walked away when I said I'd stay, with you.
...with you.
...with you.

After all this time I try to understand this pain.
No excuses so I find a reason to run away.
...to run away.

But I'm leaving it up to you, leaving it up to you.
And there's nothing that I can do.
Cause I walked away when I said I'd stay.
Leaving it up to you, (I wanna come back home and...)
I'm leaving it up to you. (I wanna come back home.)
And there's nothing that I can do.
Cause I walked away when I said I'd stay, with you.
with you.
with you.

. . .


Your voice is killing me.
Your words are hard as they come.
Thoughts that sit in here, fall like bullets to the floor.

Your heart is pulling me, the cut runs deeper as it flows.
Scars that cannot heal, the hurt is covered to the bone.
Cause every time it gets so complicated while I'm lying down in doubt.
I'll just tell myself I'm leaving here.

Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like the world is ending.
Faithless and I'm fallen again.
Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like we're all pretending.
Careless and I'm lonely again.

And I am torn on the inside.
The trust is dead in me, walls close higher all around.
The cross I can not bear feels like pressure coming down.
Until now the world was never jaded, yet I'm left here on my own to pick up the pieces.

Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like the world is ending.
Faithless and I'm fallen again.
Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like we're all pretending.
Careless and I'm lonely again.

This time it tears right through me.
I face the pain and I'm torn.
(This time it tears right through me.)
It's not so far away, not far enough, not far enough.

Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like the world is ending.
Faithless and I'm fallen again.
Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like we're all pretending.
Careless and I'm lonely again.

Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like the world is ending.
Faithless and I'm fallen again.
Cause I'm selfish and I'm cold and I feel like we're all pretending.
Careless and I'm lonely again.

And I am torn on the inside.
Torn, torn.
Torn.
Your voice is killing me.

Is this what you wanted?
You got what you needed; all that's mine.
Take it or leave it. (Take it or leave it.)
Everything's even but what's left of my life.

Everything's wrong I know, I can see it in your eyes again.
Taking control of my soul and my life.
Cause you take away.
You take away.
What more can you take?
It feels like I've been here before.
All that you do seems to abuse, you won't cut me anymore.

I'm bruised and I'm bleeding. (I'm bruised and I'm bleeding.)
It's kept me from seeing all your lies.
You kill all that you touch. (You kill all that you touch.)
But this time it's too much, it all comes around.

Everything's wrong I know, I can see it in your eyes again.
Taking control of my soul and my life.
Cause you take away.
You take away.
What more can you take?
It feels like I've been here before.
All that you do seems to abuse, you won't cut me anymore.

(Take away) You want it, (all from me) you wanted it all.

Cause you take away.
You take away.
What more can you take?
It feels like I've been here before.
All that you do seems to abuse, you won't cut me anymore.

Cause you take away. (You take away.)
You take away. (You take away.)
It feels like I've been here before.
All that you do seems to abuse, you won't cut me anymore.

(Take away) You want it, (all from me) you wanted it all.

. . .


Fate, it never followed me.
Until now, I never wanted it to...
(take me, I'm caving.)
I always wanted it to...
(save me, I'm waiting.)
I wanted everything and now.

You gave it away and I've come undone.
Thinking of you, I can't let it go.
You took it away now I've become empty, waiting for you to pull me up.

So you came back underrated.
It feels like I always wanted you to...
(force me, I'm caving.)
I've seen the world around I've...
(turned in and hated.)
I've fucked up everything till now.

You gave it away and I've come undone.
Thinking of you, I can't let it go.
You took it away now I've become empty, waiting for you to pull me up.
You gave it away and I've come undone.

If you tear out my eyes would I still feel you there?
And if you tear out my eyes could I still feel...
(lies)
You came into my...
(life)
All I see are...
(lies)
You came into my life.
All your fucking...
(lies)
Every fucking...
(time)
All your fucking...
(lies)
Every fucking time.

You gave it away and I've come undone.
Thinking of you, I can't let it go.
You took it away now I've become empty, waiting for you to pull me up.
You gave it away and I've come undone.
Thinking of you, and I can't let it go.
I can't let it go.
I can't let it go.
I can't let it go.

. . .


I can't deny it, I fucking like it.
It brings on confidence and courage that I lost.
I turn into it, it helps me through it, until I lie awake and contemplate it all.

You can't break me.
Taking hold of it all.
I've finally gone straight down.
I can't deny it, I lie and loathe.
I've finally gone straight down.
I can't deny it, I lie and loathe.

I know I hate you, I can't escape you.
You bring me emptiness and nothing I've become.
I can't resist it, I wouldn't miss it.
It's finally coming out, the darkness and the cold.

You can't break me.
Taking hold of it all.
I've finally gone straight down.
I can't deny it, I lie and loathe.
I've finally gone straight down.
I can't deny it, I lie and loathe.

Loathe, you fucking loathe.
You fucking loathe.
Loathe, you fucking loathe.
You fucking loathe.
You fucking loathe.

Loathe.

I've finally gone straight down.
I can't deny it, I lie and loathe.
I've finally gone straight down.
I can't deny it, I lie and loathe.

You fucking loathe.
You fucking loathe.
You fucking loathe.

. . .


This is the last time I'll wait.
I forced my self here.
Listened to all I can take.
(I try and wash it away.)
I still remember the fallout that can't be erased.
(Bite my tongue now.)
I can't believe all the ways that you hold me I break.

This is the world that you burn.
This is the life that you waste.
How does it feel on your own, now that you're pushing me away?

Cast out the storm in my head I've tripped and fell in, caught in my conscience again.
(I try to push it away)
In case you forget I'll boldly just let it all fade.
(search the silence)
I can't believe all the lies that you tell me I break.

This is the world that you burn.
This is the life that you waste.
How does it feel on your own, now that you're pushing me away?
away
away
away

(This is the world that you burn.) You're pushing me away.
(These are the lives you waste.) You're pushing me away.
(How does it feel?) I still remember the fallout.
(How does it feel?) I can't believe all the ways that you break.

This is the world that you burn.
This is the life that you waste.
How does it feel on your own, now that you're pushing me away?

This is the world that you burn.
(I can't believe all the ways that you hold me I break.)
This is the life that you waste.
How does it feel on your own, (I can't believe all the lies that you tell me I break.) now that you're pushing me away?
away
away
I can't believe all the ways that I break.

. . .


Uncover the skin but I can still feel the ways you left me for dead.
Uncover the sin to let the scars reveal the blood that flowed from me.

Over the line, sun burns like fire.
And this is all in my head.
The pressure pushes me over the line.

Held it within cause you couldn't just be perfect for everyone.
Feel the cave in and let the dirt conceal the warmth you stole from me.

Over the line, sun burns like fire.
And this is all in my head.
The pressure pushes me over, over the line.

This resentment won't be the end of me. (This resentment won't be...)
Hatred will pull you under.
Be sure I'm not holding my breath... (I'm not holding my breath.) not holding my breath cause its...

Over the line, sun burns like fire.
And this is all in my head.
The pressure pushes me over...

Over the line, sun burns like fire.
And this is all in my head.
The pressure pushes me over (All in my head the pressure pushes me.)
Over, when it's over, (All in my head it's over, over.) over the line
