Fuck! Why can't I live with myself?
Voices in my head and they're drowning me out
Why do I live with this pain
When all you ever do is try to cut me up?

Dead inside
The blood runs dry

Sometimes I think about this pain
When I'm left with all this guilt
Circling regret, spinning around me
My voice is fading and it's getting hard to breathe
The walls are caving in, and I can't find a way out

Slowly drowning, in lies you told me
Surely drifting away from living

Fuck! My time is up!
Drag me to my hell abyss
Heaven knows I swore an oath
But I'm so sick of this
And I don't want to live like this it's getting hard to let go

Fuck! My time is up!
Drag me to my hell abyss
Heaven knows I swore an oath
But I'm so sick of this
And I don't want to live like this it's getting hard to let go

Mosh pit!

I'll breathe in the poison
Let it seep
The taste of destruction that keeps me clean
Was in my veins

Tetracycline
Bury the rage
I'll drown my demons and silence the plague
Cut me open, let me rot
I'll burn my bridges and take all you have

Breathe out the poison
Clutching my skin
Tetracycline, save me again!
You think you know, what's underneath?
You'll choke on poison, just like me
Let it sleep

Tetracycline, pulse through my veins
Shed the anger and silence the pain
Kill me slowly, I feel alive
Break the cycle and patch up these lies

Breathe out the poison
Clutching my skin
Tetracycline, save me again!
You think you know, what's underneath?
You'll choke on poison, just like me
Let it sleep

You'll choke on poison!
Look at me!

Tetracycline, save me again!
You think you know, what's underneath?
You'll choke on poison, just like me
Let it sleep

I see the black in your eyes
Severed the truth when you force fed your lies
Poisoned by malice and riddled in stank
Plague all your victims with no remorse
Or intent to leave

I gave you all these choices
But you still won't leave
I never knew your mindset could be so deranged
In these blackened skies
You held all the keys
Withholding every sunset till the lights go out
Can't run with a rusty pair of scissors
Paralyzed
No cracks in the walls it sees right through you
Right through you

And through these gut wrenching lies
I still feel you
The price of your last words
Weren't enough to wake up from this
Can somebody bury me
Feel you
Slip through the cracks as your tear my skin
After this
Can somebody bury me

You pray for cyanide
When will you ever learn?
Pray for cyanide

You pray for cyanide
When will you ever learn?
Pray for cyanide
Again

It's all the same
Every time I look into your eyes
It's such a shame, when all I see are lies

And you will never know the guilt I hold
Surpassing all the weight of all
And I can finally see that hole
When I look into your eyes

Soaked in the midst of silence
You're burning into ashes

(No!)
You're losing all senses
You're burning into ashes
(No!)
You're losing your senses
I can let you go but you're falling to pieces

It's such a shame
(It's such a shame)
It's all the same
(It's all the same)
It's such a shame
(It's such a shame)
It's all the same

Close to the edge
Your truth has denied the things you've said
It's such a shame
And now I'm ready to turn the page

And you will never know the guilt I hold
Surpassing all the weight of all
And I can finally see that hole
When I look into your eyes

(No!)
You're losing all senses
You're burning into ashes
(No!)
You're losing your senses
I can let you go but you're falling to pieces

It's such a shame
(It's such a shame)
It's all the same
(It's all the same)
It's such a shame
(It's such a shame)
It's all the same

You keep pushing away!
You keep pushing away!

Soaked in the midst of silence
You're burning into ashes

(No!)
You're losing all senses
You're burning into ashes
(No!)
You're losing your senses
I can let you go but you're falling to pieces

It's such a shame
(It's such a shame)
It's all the same
(It's all the same)
It's such a shame

I'm left drowning in the muck when you call my name
You wore a crown as you etched out the blame
And now we're all forsaken
So now we fall in the depths you have made

Take this back
Cause now we're falling, and I won't be there to condemn what you've said

When will we find ourselves?
This is not the end!
When will we free ourselves?
Cause we're too close to the bottom!
You will choke on every word you've said (You've said!)
Cause we're too close to the bottom
Too close to the bottom!

I'd rather die than become what you've made
Sink your teeth in the choices you've made
You've made!

When will we save ourselves?
This is not the end!
When will we free ourselves?
Cause we're too close to the bottom!
You will choke on every word you've said (You've said!)
Cause we're too close to the bottom
Too close to the bottom!

You've dug this grave all by yourself
And I won't be there when you burn in all this hatred
I won't be there when you call out my name
You've done this all by yourself

Keep telling yourself that you've been through enough
Then keep killing yourself with the shit that you've told
Then go beg for forgiveness in Hell

In the heart of all things broken
Is a man who's dead inside
In the bowels of all things hopeless
Is a lost cold soul and he's screaming out

Words fall short of all the lies you've said to him
Now he's had enough
When you bury all the hate inside
Tears become a memory

Get the fuck up!

In the bowels of all things broken
Is a man who's dead inside
In the bowels of all things hopeless
Is a man like me and he's screaming out

Don't want to feel so cold
I can't go on
Cause it makes me feels like I'm undone again
I can't pretend you're gone away
Cause it makes me feel like I'm undone again
I can't pretend you're gone!

In the heart of all things broken
Is a man who's lost
And he can't find his way out
In bowels of all things broken
Is a man like me and he feels like giving up

So don't let go of this
Cause it's too late to find the light of a sun you never had
So don't let go of this cause it's too late
When you won't miss the light from the death of a sun!

Dead again
I can't pretend you're gone away
Cause it makes me feel like I'm undone again
I can't pretend you're gone away
Cause it makes me feel like I'm undone again
I can't pretend you're gone away
Cause it makes me feel like I'm undone again
Like you
Like you
Cause it makes me feel like I'm undone!

Do you wanna start a war with me?
Are you choking on the words you said?
Could I ever be?
Could I ever see?

Do you really wanna say these words
While I'm tryna come up for air?
Guess it's meant to be
But we couldn't see

Go!

White lies, we suffer from your words
Dead weight as the sirens scream my fate
Too late
You fucked up everything and I can't breathe just to say the least

Don't wait!
The time will pass you by
And if it does just know that I'll be fine
Can't see?
The truth is hard to read
And I don't wanna be your alibi

Your filth is spilling all around me
Don't wait for me!
Cause I'll be gone

Do you wanna start a war with me?
Are you choking on the words you said?
Could I ever be?
Could I ever see?

Do you really wanna say these words (Say these words!)
While I'm tryna come up for air?
Guess it's meant to be
How it should've been

Sometimes I think about you
And all the things I never said
Believing what you say is a cold dark hole of a memory

You wrap your hands around my neck
And squeeze the life right out of this
And I don't want to be here so just let me go
I don't wanna be here!

Your filth is spilling all around me
Don't wait for me!
Cause I'll be gone

Do you wanna start a war with me?
Are you choking on the words you said?
Could I ever be?
Could I ever see?

Do you really wanna say these words (Say these words!)
While I'm tryna come up for air?
Guess it's meant to be
How it should've been

Do you wanna start a war with me?
Is it meant to be how it should've been?
Do you wanna start a war with me?
Is this meant to be how it should've fucking been?

Wake the fuck up!

Do you wanna start a war with me?
Are you choking on the words you said?
Could I ever be?
Could I ever see?

Do you really wanna say these words (Say these words!)
While I'm tryna come up for air?
Guess it's meant to be
How it should've been

How it should've fucking been!
How it should've fucking been!
