Walk the silent emptiness
that leads me into shattered tomorrows
Tear away the skin
that has taken me so long to stitch
Licking my wounds from yesterday
Feeling so hollow today
Time passes never waiting for me
Open me up and expose me to your ways
I am twisted like your brain
Immune to what I've became
I've been taken for granted
And it's broken me
Wearing me down to nothing
Everything is compromised
What will you think
When all you see is only a part of the other me?
Because you can peel away the outside
But all you'll find is the shadow of a soul inside
Take a drag and look at the world
with dying eyes
Staring at it dead while giving it head
waiting for all the things I love to never come alive
It's okay if you want to hate me
I'm sure I'd be better off without the animosity
And I wont believe in you when I'm reminded
of everything you put me through
You tried to make me feel sorry for
your self-inflicted misery
It's okay if you lie to me
But don't think I'll have anything left to give
when you come crawling back again
Don't look back just so you can lean on me
You've taken all the life there was out of me
With the words you say, pushing me away
Living your life a different way
Expecting me to do the same
Separating our lives and then wondering
why
I up and walked away
Too much time
Too many wasted days
Too many things I've never spoken
Now I'm setting free all this pent up emotion
I've never told you what to do
Never made you a promise I couldn't be held to
How many different faces could you show me?
How could you always be right?
Living in your world of fantasy
Dramatizing everything
Leaving me dead and broken again
You never wanted to be sober
Just wanted to feel numb all the time and
You can always justify whether you're
walking dead or alive
Wasting your time however you like
Does life feel better with a hangover sometimes?
You were the spoken truth, I was the lies in you
I made you shine in everything you would do
I was your lighted way and you my darkest day
Funny how you could always rely on me
But I can never depend on you
We are suppose to be best friends but
This is no longer the life for me
This isn't the way I want things to be
I was your peace of mind, confusing all your time
I ran through your veins, and you were my pain
