I’m drowning in this darkness,
Slowly sinking in the pain
I’m beginning to doubt that
I can live with myself.
Time kills what I thought I had
Ripping my world in two.

If you could see me now
I know you wouldn’t be proud.
I try find ways to numb this pain
Whether that be by alcohol or blade,
But you wouldn’t understand.
I can’t live with myself.

Time consumes the things we hold dear
It seems to know what drives us mad,
Makes the loneliness last longer,
The pain more unbearable.
I lost who I was some time ago,
Now I’m nothing more than an empty shell.

There’s no way I can doubt that
I can’t live with myself.
