The empty maze inside this brain catches me and I fall short
Lost again and looking for something to make the day fade into dark
Can't keep this breath inside myself and there's no one left to share it with
I'll wander lonely streets and sleep on the steps of a sanctuary
Cold and close to defeat
These wheels keep turning and running me over
Flattening any hope of salvation
There's no safe place inside myself
No amount of change can erase the past
The memories flash and burn and repeat themselves
When the apathy wears off, panic sets in all over again
Vicious and never ending
******* life from vital parts
Until I collapse under the weight of my mistakes

The empty maze inside this brain catches me and I fall short
Lost again and looking for something to make the day fade into dark
Can't keep this breath inside myself and there's no one left to share it with
I'll wander lonely streets and sleep on the steps of a sanctuary
Cold and close to defeat
These wheels keep turning and running me over
Flattening any hope of salvation
There's no safe place inside myself
No amount of change can erase the past
The memories flash and burn and repeat themselves
When the apathy wears off, panic sets in all over again
Vicious and never ending
******* life from vital parts
Until I collapse under the weight of my mistakes
