lyrics

Burn me alive for the lie that you’ve made of me
To protect your own skin, to hide from your own sin
Burn me, for everything I’ve done for you, was never enough
I’ll rebuild my body from the ashes you left behind

The weight of existence tears away at my sanity
Put my body below the dirt and seal away my dreams

And they’re asleep
But no rest for me

And for every mistake that I’ve made
I can’t forget and move on in peace
Like ghosts doomed to walk the earth
They haunt me

Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight
Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight

Tonight.

If you want you can watch this smile fade from my face
I’ve spent my life speaking, but no one will hear me
I’ve spent my life, chasing a fucking dream
Gained nothing, solved nothing, lost everything

I need nothing else, but I want so much more
I fight myself for control, but I fall again and again
I need nothing else, but I am never satisfied
I’ll take this to my grave
If I can make it through tonight

I am scared, that only my mistakes will define me
But I can feel the weight of the world, slowly breaking
Pulling air into my lungs, finding strength
To lift myself above all my failures and set me free

If only I could believe
Everything they’ve said to me
But I know better than that
JUST LET ME BURN

Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight
Fighting feelings of past regrets
I need tomorrow to get through tonight

With only ashes and meaningless memories
I wander a broken world
