All the screaming and all the pain
Has all slowly been stripped away
I became a hollow shell
Only your misery was left
To course its way through my veins
Rotting everything inside of me
Until it blackened everything that I touched
I’ll never forget what they used to say
I’ll never forget that you’re everything i don’t want
The holes in the walls and the doors
Were our homes hint to tell me to leave
And in the shattered glass peppering the floor
Were eyes staring back at me
With no emotion behind them at all
Nothing behind them at all
As you had me chained in your prison
I felt like I would never see the light of day
What we didn’t have lasted too long
You weren’t what I wanted from the start
The steps forward we took were for nothing
Because were always going the wrong way
And you know you can’t fight the feeling
The feeling that we were always meant to be apart
(Be apart)
Use your tears to clean the dirt from your knees
As you beg and you plead for me to stay
Id much rather kick the chair out from underneath me
Then to have to spend one more moment with you
I want this all to fall apart
In the dark, looking from the inside out
The world passed by
In your cold grasp, it slipped away
