I can't stand on my own anymore

This constant reiteration of blame

Just sets me back to a new realm of hate

The shock of it all, the decline, the grave

Far gone is a night left quiet and kind

And still, I always seem to leave myself behind

And maybe, this look in your eyes

It will still be the same, following

This vanity, this misery

Just give it up, and accept the end

What is this place I built becoming

A clearer picture's all I wanted

Insane is a fine line

It's a mistake, and you're only finite

I never once imagined I would lie in such a fraught silence

But I can't recall

It's a cage, where I can't be freed

Stuck in a pit of monotony

I know, that I'll lie in despair

I know, that life won't be fair

What is this place I built becoming

A clearer picture's all I wanted

I bit my lip and sighed

What have I made my life

I toss my fears aside

And burn

What have I done, what have I done

Get on your knees

Rip this life from my hands

I'm still frayed at the ends

Is this all that's left

I failed at the first step
