You’ll kill me tonight, I have no doubt
Staring my killer in the eye, show down
But stains like these will never come out
Can’t get the taste of blood out of my mouth
I’m angry with god for shutting me down
I’m angry at the world for counting me out
I’m angry with my lovers for casting doubt
I’m angry at this scene for drowning me out
They tell me not to whisper so I shout
I’m paranoid so I’ll drink till I black out
But I’ve been sober two years so I’ll just branch out
Until the cancer building up in me bottoms out
There’s a pain in my chest that I can’t figure out
If it’s anxiety or my heart giving out
You can’t see the good in me so you cut me out
I’ve never been so alone, please help me out
I’ve become so jaded and can’t figure out why
I’ve become so numb to pain I can’t even cry
I’ve become so poignant I can't even lie
I’ve become so ashamed I think I might die
You used to hold me up like a false idol to the sky
Until you all realize I was dead inside
Women used to think I was a king for queens
But now they just think of me as a sad, fickle thing
People say write a happy song to get laid
But I’m worried what woman would want to remain
Because people like me are rarely ever saved
We just float through the breeze with the wind in our face
I’ve perfected the art of the poker face
So you’d never even realize that I was fazed
But your words left a scar upon the façade you see
It’s cracking under the pressure as the real me bleeds
Gods burn brighter when you burn them alive
You’ll learn that about me as I ignite
Into a million shreds of brightly burning ash
I’m just placating my inevitable collapse
Music is how I escape a world that only attacks
I’ve jumped in with both feet, I’m not swimming back
Trust me when I say I’m anti-social as a crutch
Cuz honestly I’m tired of falling out of love
