You never stray far
Always shouting
Always screaming
Attention
Attention
Attention
It is what you crave
I pray to break these chains
I pray to be set free
I pray to hear silence from thee
I fall into tragedy
Wishing you to die like Romeo
But never to resurrect like Juliet
Why must it always be you
But never me?
Why must you cling like a leech
******* me dry of all I have to offer
Why must you exist
Why can I not be free
Why can't I be healed
Is it because you stand in my way?
Must I cut these strings?
Must I shear away the pain?
Or forever let you drag me down
Because when I am alone
It is always you and me
But not today

You never stray far
Always shouting
Always screaming
Attention
Attention
Attention
It is what you crave
I pray to break these chains
I pray to be set free
I pray to hear silence from thee
I fall into tragedy
Wishing you to die like Romeo
But never to resurrect like Juliet
Why must it always be you
But never me?
Why must you cling like a leech
******* me dry of all I have to offer
Why must you exist
Why can I not be free
Why can't I be healed
Is it because you stand in my way?
Must I cut these strings?
Must I shear away the pain?
Or forever let you drag me down
Because when I am alone
It is always you and me
But not today
