A life lived numbed by the world
It's hard to break free
From the knot that's tangled and swirled

I built these walls to guard me
But brick by brick I trapped myself into this black abyss
And now I'm slowly forgetting how to see

I'm blinded by the lies
that slip off your tongue like velvet
The sweet taste turns sour
but I choose to not realize

I waited too long to leave
For now the words slice through my heart
Exposing the truth making me feel so naive

Drowning in a life I don't want to continue at all
I'm left with no choice but to stand here and fall
