So remember who you are

When you’re killing me

As I’m living the aftermath

Of all you could never be

Hate me, break me, try now to forsake me

Never will you tear me down

Bound me, drown me deep within this blackened sea

Your silence is a deafening sound

These are the answers to the questions I have never asked

So won’t you look me dead in the eyes and tell me it’s all a lie

No

As I’m living in the aftermath

Of all your hated

And I’m failing in the fallout

Of your forced fed fear

So remember who you are

When you’re killing me

As I’m living the aftermath

Of all you could never be

Waiting, hating the anticipating

The pain that might never come

Feeling, dealing with what is not healing

From all that was said and done

These are the nightmares to the dreams I have never had

So won’t you wake me when all of it’s over and show me there’s

no light

No

Look into my eyes and tell me what it is you see

A man without a soul or a boy with broken dreams

Here am I alone with your knife stabbed in my back

Standing on the edge as I’m

Living in the aftermath

Aftermath

Aftermath

Living in the aftermath

Of all your hatred and all your force fed fear

And I won’t be a slave

To the words you spoke

I will breath this clean air

As I watch you choke
