Tear my throat from my neck
Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck
Pull me apart like I'm defective
Point out my flaws like you'll be respected
Strike out my name with infinite potential
Speak for my fame like you're influential
How do you sleep so sound
With so many demons in your head to wrestle

You fed me lies
I severed ties

You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here

You can't make me disappear

Keep running joke, you are regret
Always bouncing back just like your cheques
A monument on hollow ground
Lived nine lives more then fucking sold me out
Cat took your tongue but none of your credentials
Don't waste my time with your sentimentals
How can you speak without shred of sincere

You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here
You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
But I'm still here

You can't make me disappear

Point out my flaws
Strike out my name
Pull me apart
You fucking fake

You can't make me disappear
You tried to break me
I'm still here

I'm still here

You are regret
Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck
Tear my throat from my neck

You are regret
Wouldn't you love a voiceless wreck
Tear my throat from my neck

I can't escape you
No matter how far I run (can't escape you)
I can't erase you
From who I've become (you're a part of me)

Memories coursing through my veins
Like the scars in yours, my roots remain

I was raised in hell
I made it out by myself
I was raised to bleed
Bad blood runs wild and free

Bad blood runs wild and free
Bad blood runs wild and free

I thought you were dreaming
Eyes rolled to the stars
Sinking slowly in muddy water
Set beneath the tar
You left me in the dark

We grew up scared
Bruised and battered
Youth torn and tattered
As long as you were sky high
Nothing fucking mattered
Hotel homes in the cross
Under the bridge and lost
With your heads in the clouds above
You call this love

You call this love

I was raised in hell
I made it out by myself
I was raised to bleed
Bad blood runs wild and free

I thought you were dreaming (hell raised me)
I thought you were dreaming
Bad blood runs wild and free

Bad blood runs wild and free
Bad blood runs wild and free

I know what it was like to lose someone who raised you
Did they still love you when they lost their grip in overdose
Facing doors I'd never hold a key to
Searching for gold in a broken home

I know what it was like to have a gift to give away
I know what it was like to prove to them you had something

But someone just like me
Took the world away from you
Just like me
Took the world away from you
Someone just like me
Took the world away from you
Away from you

Searching for gold in a broken home
I'm drawing blood, blood from a stone
I have nothing, no silver lining
Just the guilt of surviving

I have nothing but the guilt
Left in me

Someone just like me
Took the world away from you

Someone just like me
Took the world away from you
Someone just like me
Took the world away from you
Away from you
Away from you
Away from you

(I'm still trying, your will dying
I'm still trying, your will dying)

Tip-toe through the ruins of my mind
Desolation in disguise
I've been locked out of my thoughts for a long time
The rusted gates
Deteriorate
Do my insecurities relate?
It's like I'm waiting to fall apart
To fall apart

Waiting to fall
Waiting to fall
Waiting to fall apart

My eyes are a sight below the surface
The veil's wearing thin

I don't fit into my skin
Maybe I'm just like the rest of them
But I refuse to take the medicine
To escape the mess I'm in
Outspoken
By the voices in my head

The voices in my head

My mind is silenced
By the talking heads
Chattering at me
With every waking breath
My eyes are a sight below
These voices I can't put to rest
My eyes are a sight below
The veil's wearing thin

I don't fit into my skin
Maybe I'm just like the rest of them
But I refuse to take the medicine
To escape the mess I'm in
Outspoken
By the voices in my head

The voices in my head

My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Drowning out reason, drowning in lament
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Outspoken by the voices in my head

Outspoken by the voices in my head
Fuck!

My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Chattering with every waking breath
My mind is silenced by the talking heads
Outspoken by the voices in my head

The curtains were always drawn
Splinters of light spilled through the walls
Escape was alone in my sleep
Cause now I can't feel

I can't feel at all
I can't feel at all
Your embrace in this freefall

Sharing a tired mattress on the floor
Hazy eyes in the night
Waking to the crash
As he broke down the door
Loaded for slaughter
Please don't kill me in the face of my son and daughter
I still hear them screaming
But I can't feel at all

I can't feel at all
I can't feel at all
Your embrace in this freefall

Your embrace in this freefall
Your embrace in this freefall

Like cold metal to the temple of my Father
I'm numb when you suffer

I'm numb when you suffer

No empathy to give to another soul
Stolen from me forever
I will never be whole
No empathy to give to another soul
I'm numb when you suffer

Brick by brick, from day one
The odds were stacked against me
Brick by brick, overrun
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun

Stranded by what comforts me
Life's a nightmare blooming free

Bleary eyes
Trace the lines
I cross between
I can't see if the grass is green
Or if the garden is dead and twisted
Like me on the inside

Stranded by what comforts me
Life's a nightmare blooming free
Stranded by what confronts me
I escape with what I choose to breathe

The odds were stacked against me
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
Block the sun
Block the sun
Block the sun

Block out the sun

Stranded by what comforts me
Life's a nightmare blooming free
Stranded by what confronts me
I escape with what I choose to breathe
Choose to breathe

(Block out the sun)
The odds were stacked against me

Salted streams of dismay
Cascade down my swollen face
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
And I can taste your failure

Blame
A loyal dog on a tight leash
Shame
A rabid wolf you can't feed
Pain
Is what you feel
But you can't speak
So take it out on me

Take it out on me

I was here to catch your blows
Bruises, tears, no place called home
By your design, my fear is alive
No place to hide, your sacrifice

Butterfly wings would shake the ground
Every minuscule action you surround
With anger, abuse and more bad news
Your truth is fear, you taste of failure

Blame
A loyal dog on a tight leash
Shame
A rabid wolf you can't feed
Pain
Is what you feel
But you can't speak
So take it out on me

Take it out on me

Salted streams
Of dismay
Cascade down
My swollen face

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
And I can taste your failure

I will never let myself be like you

You think we're one in the same
There's more to me than a name
I'll wear it proud but
I will never let myself be like you
I will never let myself be like you
I will never let myself be like you

I'm not afraid
Of the void
Between me and you

The things that divide us
Just lines in the sand
Lies never true

We're all the same
The world's going to end
We're all condemned
And misconstrued

(The world's going to end)

I'm not afraid
Of the void
Between me and you

We're all the same
The world's going to end
We're all condemned
And misconstrued

(The world's going to end)

I'm here with you but I won't hold my breath
For you to fix this disconnect

I'm filled with doubt
Won't hold my breath
I've seen your past
I lived through it
You've come so far
Will you relapse
I'm here with you
Please don't go back

I'm here with you, I'm here with you
(I hear the echoes of the past will this feeling last?)
And I'm consumed by DeJa'Vu
(I saw your faults spread into the cracks)
I'm here with you, I'm here with you
(Quicksand, I fear that you're sinking in)
The devil danced in morning dew
Until the end I'm here with you
I'm here with you

Standing where it all began
Bracing for complete collapse
Dread is over me
Hope rewinding time
Drowning in the change of tides
Will you mend our paradigm

I'm here with you, I'm here with you
(I hear the echoes of the past will this feeling last?)
And I'm consumed by DeJa'Vu
(I saw your faults spread into the cracks)
I'm here with you, I'm here with you
(Quicksand, I fear that you're sinking in)
The devil danced in morning dew
Until the end I'm here with you

Drowning in the change of tides
Will you mend our paradigm
Drowning in the change of tides
Will you mend our paradigm

Set fire to an icon
Set fire to the lie
Set fire, bid farewell
I'll be a martyr to myself
Where do I go
If every turn there's a vulture waiting
To pick at my bones
And bury me alive?

My lungs are whitewashed
A million thoughts on the tip of my tongue
I can't keep hiding
My guts in tight knots
Abandon who I've become
Or fight for what's inside me?

Set fire to an icon
Set fire to the lie
Set fire, bid farewell
I'll be a martyr to myself
Where do I go
If every turn there's a vulture waiting
To pick at my bones
And bury me alive?

It's me against the world
It's me against the world
It's me against the world

I feel their claws sinking in
As the life spirals out from my inner self
Let the earth where I carved my name burn
Burn

Set fire to an icon
Set fire to the lie
Set fire, bid farewell
I'll be a martyr to myself
Where do I go
If every turn there's a vulture waiting
To pick at my bones
And bury me alive?

It's me against the world
It's me against the world

I can't reach your hand
I can't liberate you
I know you're alive
But in my heart I've said goodbye
So tonight
I'm sleepless

Afraid of what I might become
A curse I've tried to ignore
But still it leaves me feeling numb
I wish I could have done more

It's taken over every cell
Why are you drowning yourself
When you are so unwell?

I can't reach your hand
I can't liberate you
I know you're alive
But in my heart I've said goodbye
So tonight
I'm sleepless

I keep this out of sight
Out of mind
But I never left it all behind

I never left it all behind

I can't reach your hand
I can't liberate you
I know you're alive
But in my heart I've said goodbye
So tonight
I'm sleepless

I'm sleepless
