I don't want to but I'll let you down

I've been stabbed, beaten and drowned

The past still lingers and tightens its grip

Constant reminders, followed by fingerprints

No second chance for convicts

Half of a man, broken in two

Not always true, the pain I've hidden from you

Even though I don't know if tomorrow will come

I would try not to die, this blackness undone

Every day every way it has never stopped

Every breath, every death, I've only known loss

You don't want to know a fucking thing about me

The illusion's meant to distort reality

As it falls down around me

Closing in to surround me

Burning it all behind me, running from tragedy

Solace in solitude, living in atrophy
