I feel the air leave my lungs/ and I'm cold and stuck in place/ the reaper has taken a piece of me/ the peace in me to ferry you home/ as I've crumbled to my knees, I see a vision of you that haunts me/ it's like all my memories are being used against me/ and through all the tears and moans, I can hear your ghost/ cutting clear in the back of my mind/ saying you can't bring me back
And now I have to close my eyes/ just to keep you alive/ it's the only gift left when all death does is take/ with your voice still fresh in my head/ you'll speak the words you never said/ I'm fine with the hallucinations, as long as I don't have to accept you're dead.

Violent noise/ the voice inside/ is supposed to keep me safe/ but all it does is tell me what I'm worth/ nothing/ to no one/ ever/ why don't you just sleep forever/ just one step/ just one step/ decides if I hang from a noose or by a thread/ or if I either show or tell my friends/ that there is a hole inside of me/ and I can't seem to fulfill its fucking needs/ swing/ like the coward you are/ swing/ surprised we made it this far/ there is no life behind my eyes/ everything I see in myself I fucking despise/ I am weak/ staring at a blank space, I feel more alone than I'm afraid/ I'm so close/ to choosing my end/ just one step/ today will end, by the noose or by a thread/ just one step/ just one

Fear/ as loud as you can/ speak to me/ tell me that I'm justified/ for the hatred that I feel inside/ my eyes are red with rage/ from every single fucking push/ and every little dirty look/ run/ as fast as you can
You can't outrun the consequence/ like I couldn't escape my head/ the words you said, the fear you instilled/ use the fist or take the pill
I can't escape this nightmare and can't control the shakes/ hit me again, break me apart/ see me for who I am/ a lost soul who you condemned/ so when the tables have turned/ you can accept what you've earned
Oh/ and now they're no longer just thoughts/ oh/ and now you're bleeding and it won't stop/ stare into the eyes of the killer you've made/ for every time I cried stop
Scream for me/ bleed for me/ scream for me/ bleed for me/ look at me/ fade for me
All mercy denied/ was it worth the price/ go to hell and I will follow in time
For every time I cried stop and you ignored me/ they will only know my side of the story

Beware the void inside my chest/ and the whispers that fill my head/ no sleep/ just weep an empty prayer inside my hands/ with the phrase "why am I here"/ repeating over and over and over again/ and over again/ whats the point/ over and over and over again/ but I'm afraid of my end/ so I stare at the ceiling again
Trapped in my own skin/ everything closing in/ I struggle to breathe/ blackout
Through the haze and double vision, I see the walls I've surrounded myself with. I don't speak, so I push those helping hands away. Even though I'm scared of being alone. But alone is how I escape, because I know the world is a terrible place. I know the world is a terrible place.
Shrivel/ afraid of myself and the world outside/ with nowhere left to hide/ my fears control me/ I'm constantly awake, but I can't get up in the morning/ I wish I could feel what hope is like, but I am numb to everything
Desperate for some relief/ just squeeze the trigger and finally get some sleep

Tell me what is real/ is it the ghost inside my head/ that tells me every little thing I need/ to contradict myself/ am I even here cause I know I've lost control/ I can feel dissonance between my mind, body, and soul/ I am so confident that I'm alive/ despite feeling so dead inside/ but who am i/ to say what I think/ when it's more than just me for whom I speak
Honest as can be/ I've been losing my grip/worried that you'll see/something different in me like I do in myself/ I need help someone please
I can't get myself to cooperate/ I see what I need but I can't think straight
Filled with excuses of why I can't help myself/ and bullshit reasons of why I can't rely on someone else/why can't I just admit I could use the help/ instead of keeping all this to myself
Fighting nurture everyday/ it's been ingrained not to say/ what makes me afraid/ and now I'm so scared of myself/ I hate this/ I hate me
Bury it deep/ swallow/ choke it down/swallow/ don't make a sound/ you'll only be ridiculed and put away/and in that box is where you'll stay
Swallow (your fears)/swallow (the truth)/ swallow (the years)/ swallow (the pills)/ swallow/ swallow
To cure what ails my aching soul/ I must abandon all hope
Tell me what is real/ when the voice never really dies/ and it tells me all I've done was just a waste of time/ I need to feel release/ so I self-destuct again/ not knowing what to say /when confronted by my friends/ tell me what is real/ when I know what I need/ but just can't find the strength/ to save me from me
