It's been awhile since I've written anything at all
It's been so long since my dying voice sang a single word
I'm desperate to discover this path
This quiet trail into eternity, look at me
I don't cry anymore, but in my dreams tears pour
And drown me indefinitely, finally killing off what I've seen
I scream, I scream
I grow tired of catchy hooks, my nose in books
Your empty looks give away what I guessed for months
I should have run, loaded up my gun
And found peace in nonexistence
But your insistence has brought me back here
Alone and in fear, blinded at the gates my dear
Rediscovered how to care
Then remembered this burden to bear

It's been awhile since I've written anything at all
It's been so long since my dying voice sang a single word
I'm desperate to discover this path
This quiet trail into eternity, look at me
I don't cry anymore, but in my dreams tears pour
And drown me indefinitely, finally killing off what I've seen
I scream, I scream
I grow tired of catchy hooks, my nose in books
Your empty looks give away what I guessed for months
I should have run, loaded up my gun
And found peace in nonexistence
But your insistence has brought me back here
Alone and in fear, blinded at the gates my dear
Rediscovered how to care
Then remembered this burden to bear
