You said "Never again" Yeah, yeah You said "Never again" I succumb to the numb Don't want to feel my pain You said you've had enough So now I'm bound to the shame I never meant to be the weight that's weighing on your mind I stay out of the way but still your heart always clings to mine It's like a pendulum swing, but I resist from swinging to the side that I don't like I've got to feel the sting instead of feeding on my vices and evading my mind I'm out of touch, craving escape in vain Negating the loss I've found And I self-destruct There's pain in your patience and you're waiting till I come down You said "Never again" I'll never place the blame if you decide to walk away I never asked you to stay Alone behind the shades Don't want to show my face until I face my pain You try to save me but you can't, so just give it time Can only save myself But you get tangled inside my ways every time I unwind There's no salvation until I face my fucking pain I'm out of touch, craving escape in vain Negating the loss I've found And I self-destruct There's pain in your patience and you're waiting till I come down Till I come down Till I come down Till I come down Till I come down Just walk away Don't wait, avert your eyes and walk away Don't stay and watch me drown in all my shame Just leave, free yourself from my toxic ways You're free, just let me face my fucking pain

White lies I never speak my mind because I'm confined by all the thoughts within So I just disguise this pain I'm living with and I just hope that one day I will feel like myself again Lost time I try to cope with it but I lost my mind and I can't seem to get a grip I try to pull myself out of this shit A grim disconnect is all I'm left with All of the time that's been wasted away while my minds' been astray The look on my mother's face when she said “You haven't been the same.” And I feel like a ghost without a place to roam Give in and just let go Disconnect from everything I know Faking happiness, I feel so full of shit Why can't I get a grip? I can't explain it but my mind, it starts to slip into an еndless pit How do I tell the onеs i love I'm getting sick, when no one fucking gets it? A grim disconnect is all I'm left with All of the time that's been wasted away while my minds' been astray The look on my mother's face when she said “You haven't been the same Trying so hard to connect with the good that surrounds me But there's no emotion inside now all I feel is nothing All that I feel is nothing What will it take to feel something? And I feel like a ghost without a place to roam Give in and just let go Disconnect from everything I know Will I find peace? I'm so tired and empty No I'm not the same and I can't be saved And I feel like a ghost without a place to roam Give in and just let go Disconnect from everything I know

So defiled Soul deprived We are fed these traits by our maker's hands We project the pain that we cannot stand A horrid soul, a burning dove A vicious display of love Your hands hold the leash Promised I won't ever leave Twist my thoughts with your persuasion Lost in Stockholm I need saving A hostage of the numb Is this really love? And my burning desire only grows Intertwined, now I dispose Only death will rid your cursed touch and I can't take much more My dignity is lacerated Seeking love in desperation Robbed me of all that is sacred This is hell I hope you choke to death for what you did to me And I will not forget All that's left are all the scarring images inside my head And my burning desire only grows Intertwined, now I dispose Kept the best of me inside of your hands so I let go Intertwined, now I dispose

And now I'm drained of life I used to think that this was sacred I used to be full of light Now all I've loved has been defaced with the throes of sycophant minds I used to think that this was sacred but I've been lost in a lie I gave my all to the complacent and now I'm drained of life Hang yourself off my coattails motherfucker Swing God damn I won't let you in again I see your intentions You wait to sink your teeth in I know what your weakness is I won't let you in again It feels like everyone around me just speaks in tongues and I just can’t relate Don’t give a fuck about your status or what you've done or the еxtent of your reach So when you'rе dead and gone, would you be proud of the impression you decide to leave? No sense of right from wrong You spend your days rotting away in your sycophancy I know what you are You writhe in low self-esteem Oh, you're all so fucked and everybody wants to talk but no ones' listening And now I’m drained of life I used to think that this was sacred I used to be full of light Now all I've loved has been defaced with the throes of sycophant minds I used to think that this was sacred but I've been lost in a lie I gave my all to the complacent and now I'm drained of life And now I'm drained of life No longer will I entertain the ways of the pawns that the industry breeds I feel so exhausted of everyone talking. Nobody's listening I see through the bullshit, know what you want but you won't get a thing from me So you should stay away Because I just don't give a fuck
