I've been laying awake for days
Think I'm fusing to this bed
I really should get up
But can't seem to lift my head
My thoughts are all thats moving
Paralyzed me to the core
Greeting all this apathy
Like family at the door
I used to give a ****
But I can't give a **** no more
Told me you were leaving
So I pushed you to the door

Tried to pop a bottle, Took some pills, Had a hit
No matter what I try
Since you left, I dont feel ****
i went to meet new people
Thought id try to reconnect
But every encounter that I had
Only reminded me of regrets

Bad and good may not exist
but morals still reflect
I've broken all of mine
What else do I have left
Im a walking, talking demon
Breathing fire with my words
Leaving scorch marks in my path
Watching all my bridges burn

So just Leave me to my prison
All this lack luster I have earned
I'll lay lonely in this bed
An just let the mattress burn
I won't try to get up
Wont wish away the heat
Im just a pheonix born in fire
Leaving ashes in thease sheets
But before I light that match
To ignite that side of me
I will lay here in the dark
Just to try an get some sleep
