Somewhere deep beneath the surface I know that I deserve this Im too far gone to save Please Don't waste your time on me Wandering Aimlessly to an unmarked grave So tired of all the same things Separate from sanctuary That feeling dead and buried Im so afraid to face myself Turning into somebody else I know you dont recognize these cold dead eyes Ive lost the light inside Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who i was. Im an imposter Failing to find peace Trying but it seems I might be Falling farther I may not come back from this I barely ******* exist Im an empty imposter I cannot pretend I feel anything real I am destined to suffer in silence As we cascade Its overwhelming The urge i have to stay if I could find a way to coexist in misery I know im not alone But nowhere feels like home With Noone to hold I shut out the world With Emotions of stone Is it safe to say Im not okay? Am I to blame? Searching endlessly for something hidden inside me. Its over now and I cant sleep She's buried deep haunting my dreams I feel her touch and It repeats Releasing me from shadows chasms deep I can feel My heart start beating This moment fleeting Slowly we're cascading Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who you lost Slowly Im suffocating Over and over your watching me fading Feels like my soul Is just wasting away Oh how were quickly cascading You cant recognize the man behind these dead and bitter eyes Im a ghost inside Im the ghost thats lives inside in own skin Your the reason I am lost inside my own head

Cascading
Somewhere deep beneath the surface I know that I deserve this Im too far gone to save Please Don't waste your time on me Wandering Aimlessly to an unmarked grave So tired of all the same things Separate from sanctuary That feeling dead and buried Im so afraid to face myself Turning into somebody else I know you dont recognize these cold dead eyes Ive lost the light inside Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who i was. Im an imposter Failing to find peace Trying but it seems I might be Falling farther I may not come back from this I barely ******* exist Im an empty imposter I cannot pretend I feel anything real I am destined to suffer in silence As we cascade Its overwhelming The urge i have to stay if I could find a way to coexist in misery I know im not alone But nowhere feels like home With Noone to hold I shut out the world With Emotions of stone Is it safe to say Im not okay? Am I to blame? Searching endlessly for something hidden inside me. Its over now and I cant sleep She's buried deep haunting my dreams I feel her touch and It repeats Releasing me from shadows chasms deep I can feel My heart start beating This moment fleeting Slowly we're cascading Slowly we're cascading My soul is suffocating Im breaking Why does it have to be this way? Forsaken The only thing I've ever loved Im faking A silhouette of who you lost Slowly Im suffocating Over and over your watching me fading Feels like my soul Is just wasting away Oh how were quickly cascading You cant recognize the man behind these dead and bitter eyes Im a ghost inside Im the ghost thats lives inside in own skin Your the reason I am lost inside my own head
