And these dark thoughts haven't left since the cold morning, The night before I had once again tasted loneliness and his bitter sting, And the empty dance of sweat and liquor, The bodies lost in the night's embrace. I have feared for my life too many times before, A will to strike my own heart and and leave it bleeding, I have walked this line again and again, A mistake made three too many times. The mistake of thinking anyone could want me, To strip my soul of all that feels whole for a shot at empty passions, The choice to throw myself, to be swept away in impossibility, To believe for one second, that I could be desired. But I am cracked, never whole, this sick soul lingers, And I ache for the possibility that to be touched would heal my pain, But that is no reality, and I know it is surely not mine, And maybe I just want to feel empty. If it means not waking up again on that cold morning.

And these dark thoughts haven't left since the cold morning, The night before I had once again tasted loneliness and his bitter sting, And the empty dance of sweat and liquor, The bodies lost in the night's embrace. I have feared for my life too many times before, A will to strike my own heart and and leave it bleeding, I have walked this line again and again, A mistake made three too many times. The mistake of thinking anyone could want me, To strip my soul of all that feels whole for a shot at empty passions, The choice to throw myself, to be swept away in impossibility, To believe for one second, that I could be desired. But I am cracked, never whole, this sick soul lingers, And I ache for the possibility that to be touched would heal my pain, But that is no reality, and I know it is surely not mine, And maybe I just want to feel empty. If it means not waking up again on that cold morning.
