Let me ask Does the guilt crush you? Until you can’t feel anymore Does it **** you? Until you are too numb to breathe Does it leave you empty? To where you chase pointless hope
Because YOUR lies crushed ME Where I cannot feel They killed me Where I’m too numb to breathe They’ve left me empty Where I chase pointless hope That one-day maybe, you’ll truly love me You say you do You’ve convinced yourself But if you did You wouldn’t look Somewhere else
Im paralyzed with pain A numbing sting An empty stain Every day It becomes a part of me In every way Who I am An empty shell Feelings are dead My mind can’t tell It’s complete dread
I try to heal To forgive I try to trust You once again but in return I have a guarded heart With a dark soul, like fire it burns Are we better apart?
You’ve tainted me Every breath You’ve killed my soul I’m ready to greet death
But I tell my lungs They can’t give out I tell my heart To love without doubt I tell myself we must work through Keep going together A couple of two Nausea every time You leave my sight I lay awake every night
You are like ****** My one true addiction I have to fight Every dose keeps me alive But every time Its kills me inside So tell me Does the guilt make you feel alive? The adrenaline rush of a new girl To **** inside Another victim to get addicted To your sweet demeanor outside Tell me Does the same thing That keeps you alive Also **** you deep inside?
