Because of the things I've said,
I couldn't hold it in.
They all burst from my head,
Ripped my breath, ripped forevermore.

Because of the things I've felt,
I've lived away from this world.
With the hand I was dealt,
Walking in silence, silence forevermore.

Because of the things I've heard,
Throughout these rooms, around my head.
Don't even, not one more word,
No more words, none forevermore.

Because of the things I've seen,
My eyes, they burn.
They will never be clean,
Look away now, away forevermore.

Because of the things I've done,
It's my time to leave.
I must run,
Run away, away forevermore.

Because of the things I've left unsaid,
I couldn't trust, let you in.
You'll never be inside my head,
I'm too gone, gone forevermore.
