lyrics

I sing songs of unhappiness
While my days are filled with ignorant bliss
Some people live every day never thinking what it is like
To live a life riddled with so much torment and strife

I sing songs of people I miss
Though I start each day with a new lover’s kiss
So much of this world just turns and never thinks twice
Spend money, get paid, get laid. Who cares what’s right?

I can’t escape the sadness.
Like the night it falls on me
Take me away from madness
Life’s too sweet to seem incomplete

I sing songs of unhappiness
While my days are filled with ignorant bliss
Some people live every day never thinking what it is like
To live a life riddled with so much torment and strife

Then the pain takes over
Like a sickness inside of me
It weighs down my shoulders
The heaviness of society

Don’t hurt me. Don’t use me. Leave me.
Don’t make me my own enemy

Don’t kill me. Don’t leave me bleeding.
I’m screaming let go. I can’t breathe.
