LYRICS:
They always tell me I’m not the only one
But then the lights go out and I feel so alone
Days overwhelming, I never see the sun
It turns out tragedy’s the only love I know
And now I see
There is no cure for me, so why do I proceed?
Down into the deepest corners of my mind
I’ll never be at peace
A sickness is burning
Into the roots of my soul, and I deserve it
It comes with no warning
And seeps beyond the surface
Spend most nights paralyzed
And every task is a new mountain before me
Can’t cut ties, can’t deny
This battle never ends
What have I become
(Begging for something, anything to make me feel like)
This is where I belong
(These ghosts will haunt me ’til the day I die)
When I shut my eyes, I see all that I could be
If you weren’t part of me
When will you let me be?
In another life, of sound body and the mind
I am finally free from this agony
Another method to control this madness
Another medicine to work its magic
Numb and collected, I repeat this cycle
Seeking, never reaching the end
I’ve grown resentful waiting for a savior
Still I’m disgusted by my own behavior
When every waking moment’s filled with sorrow
I don’t care to see tomorrow
A sickness is burning
Into the roots of my soul, and I deserve it
It comes with no warning
And seeps beyond the surface
Spend most nights paralyzed
And every task is a new mountain before me
Can’t cut ties, can’t deny
This battle never ends
