Every life I touch I break. I should be used to this Heartache. There’s no more ground Left for me unfound. I’ve traveled everywhere And found myself nowhere. Would you be better off without me? So you don’t have to see The pain That I see? I’ve opened too many veins, Left blood red stains On you. And I wish I could take everything back But I’m always too late. The darkness holds a certain wonder That I no longer fear But embrace. It’s the only time I release Without hurting you Because I’m hurting myself. Don’t let me sleep again Because in my dreams comes death. I can’t escape these thoughts. I want to feel nothing, So I feel everything. In my blinding rage I’m fully awake, But oblivious. I want to hold onto you Forever, But you’re slipping away through My mistakes. Every life I touch I break. I should be used to this Heartache. There’s no more ground Left for me unfound. I’ve traveled everywhere And found myself nowhere.

Every life I touch
Every life I touch I break. I should be used to this Heartache. There’s no more ground Left for me unfound. I’ve traveled everywhere And found myself nowhere. Would you be better off without me?

Oh, God, I feel I’ve been lied to. The world has flipped and I’m Beneath it, Trying to hold it and keep it Steady but Losing. This war is scarring, Aching, Painful. My eyes are weak and heavy But sleep only makes it worse. Where will I go when this is over? I’ve lost everyone I love and I’ve gained a sense of hatred For life. Oh, God, Please save me from wrath Consuming my mind, For I can’t find the light Alone. I need a prayer, I need a savior, I need an answer that can heal My diseased veins And make me see the good. The world is heavy on my back. I can feel my bones crack And my heart lacks A certain decency and acceptance For myself. Hope slips as easily as it remains, And I’ve none left to keep. I am weak, So I weep. But tears are salty And do no good for me. All I taste is nothing. Oh, God, I hate what I’ve become. I am coming undone. I can’t run From the things I’ve done. Lost is the only place I find Behind closed eyes, Deep in my mind. Is that where I belong? Oh, God, Please tell me. Is that where I belong?

Oh, God
Oh, God, I feel I’ve been lied to. The world has flipped and I’m Beneath it, Trying to hold it and keep it Steady but Losing. This war is scarring, Aching, Painful.
