This feverish feeling Long-lasting and fleeting I yearn for the day a breath can fill my lungs again Then take me away I taste the poison everyday So take me away From everything that's kept me sick Holding onto this pain Will only bring me misery I'll never be the last one standing A fact of life and now I must face it This sickness inside Won't let me hide, God knows I've tried Discarded, unwanted, a product of the forgotten I hope someday I'll find the strength to feel alive Take me away from all of my suffering Please bury me with all of my misery Until I feel the rain And it helps me wash this pain away I taste the poison everyday Everyday Even though these moments are fleeting I just know I don't want you to save me This fever is what keeps my heart beating And I doubt I'll ever even save myself I'll never be the last one standing A fact of life and now I must face it This darkness inside Has never been a friend of mine Discarded, unwanted, a product of the forgotten I hope someday I'll find the strength to feel alive Take me away from all of my suffering Please bury me with all of my misery Until I feel the rain And it helps me wash this pain away I taste the poison everyday Even though these moments are fleeting I just know I don't want you to save me This fever is what keeps my heart beating And I doubt I'll ever even save myself I taste the poison everyday Take me away (Take me away, take me away) Please bury me (Bury me, won't you bury me?) Until I feel the rain And it helps me wash this pain away I taste the poison everyday Everyday

Here's to the last time that I allow myself To be haunted by the shadows of the past I'm taking my life back Taking my life back A youth spent oppressed Beaten, battered and always depressed Let down by those who were supposed to care The ones who left instead of being there I feel like I am drowning in a sea of liars and snakes Surrounded by all the bullshit I can't erase And I've tried my fucking best To rise above the hate and break the chains That bind me to this place Yet I've realized there's no escape And I once thought that I had it all figured out It's ten years later and I'm still so fucking lost When will I wake up from this never ending nightmare? 'Cause I've been trapped in hell, locked away with all my fears I'll watch this whole world burn before lie back And in the end, you'll be left here with nothing Go take your bullshit elsewhere, I left the past behind You're on your own I'll watch this whole world burn Before I give up What little progress I have made On the path to something greater A promise I intend to keep These words still hold meaning And I'll do whatever it takes To keep myself from drowning And I'll do whatever it takes To keep myself from drowning Sometimes it's hard keeping my head above water With all this deadweight pulling down on me I've reached my breaking point These fractured bones may never heal I'm losing faith, it's all the same Every path I choose just leads to pain Time to shed the mask I'm taking my life back And I once thought that I had it all figured out It's ten years later and I'm still so fucking lost When will I wake up from this never-ending nightmare? 'Cause I've been trapped in hell, locked away with all my fears I'll watch this whole world burn before I lie back And in the end, you'll be left here with nothing Go take your bullshit elsewhere, I left the past behind You're on your own, you're on your own (You're on your own)

Don't take me back to the old version of me When I didn't even give a single fuck about anyone or anything And it's no wonder I'm still so fucking lonely After all the years I spent with this dread Destroyed by these thoughts in my head When will I manage to push away All those who cared for me? Just a slave to my hypocrisy It's like I'm stuck (Like I'm stuck) Held down by my own ways Remembering all the pain That I've been forced to put on display And maybe it's just too much A fear I no longer can ignore I just thought there would be more But just know It terrifies me deep inside my bones Because this lonely life Is the hardest truth I have ever known So medicate, alleviate I can't escape from the shadow I've become Because this crushing weight upon my shoulders Has left me undone And I swear that I just want to be better But sometimes everything spirals out of control And it's just something I've never once believed in Giving up a part of my fucking soul I never said that I was perfect (Perfect) But I've been convinced that I am just worthless What have I become? And all these passing lights Keep trying to guide me home But all I can see is loss It's all I've ever known But just know It terrifies me deep inside my bones Because this lonely life Is the hardest truth I have ever known So medicate, alleviate I can't escape from the shadow I've become Because this crushing weight upon my shoulders Has left me undone It's like I'm stuck (Like I'm stuck) Held down by my own ways Left behind Nothing left to save of me There's nothing left to save of me Of me (Of me)

I'm just a vagabond Vagabond, that's all I'll ever be Another lost soul in your city Vagabond, I live my life on the road 'Cause I've never felt like I had a home No matter how hard I try I always felt like the world wants me to quit Torn down every single day Tortured by the same old shit And it bums me out, people I once called friends Talk shit behind my back Fucking cowards Don't know a thing about respect You can't stand in my way Because there's nothing that can hold me down I would give anything for the chance to explain What this life has really meant to me Killing myself just to live my dream This ain't no sad song, I'm just a vagabond Vagabond, that's all I'll ever be Another lost soul in your city Vagabond, I live my life on the road 'Cause I've never felt like I had a home Through all the hate, I'll finally make amends This is the last time I'll lose myself again I'll lose myself again 'Cause I would rather spend my life alone Than become something I'm not Just to appease the world And its twisted views I would give anything for the chance to explain What this life has really meant to me Killing myself just to live my dream This ain't no sad song, I'm just a vagabond Vagabond, that's all I'll ever be Another lost soul in your city Vagabond, I live my life on the road 'Cause I've never felt like I had a home

Hateful eyes staring back at me They scream revulsion like I'm a fucking disease Self-hate has completely consumed me And it comes as no surprise, I think I want to die Has my luck run out? Haunted by these voices, I don't have any doubts Now there's nothing left to hide Sometimes I want to die Get these ghosts out of my head Get them out, get them out, get them out Let me tell you something about hating yourself It brings with it a lifetime full of agony Of broken promises and broken dreams And you know what they say about misery That fucking cunt just loves her company And no one could have predicted this At twenty-eight, my life's a goddamn mess Tried my best, tried to be stronger I hope this bullshit doesn't last much longer I never meant for you to see The awful bit of darkness locked up inside of me I buried it deep along with my fears And promised not to let it out after all these years And I'd do anything to bring myself back to life 'Cause the whole time I wanted to die All I ever wanted was to feel alive Hateful eyes are staring back at me They scream revulsion like I'm a fucking disease Self-hate has completely consumed me And it comes as no surprise, I think I want to die I am nothing Nothing more than a common disease Less than nothing A fucking parasite who's just dying to feel I am nothing Nothing more than a common disease Less than nothing A fucking parasite, a fucking parasite I never meant for you to see The awful bit of darkness locked up inside of me I buried it deep along with my fears And promised not to let it out after all these years And I'd do anything to bring myself back to life 'Cause the whole time I wanted to die All I ever wanted was to feel alive Feel alive

We're all living on a clock And the time is ticking away And I think more of us should be afraid Afraid of what that truly means Do we want to remain victims? Held down by an unjust system? Or do we try to rally behind Something with real purpose and meaning? It's just like a heart attack With no chance of coming back All hope has been left in the dark Just look around us; we're swimming with sharks And while our world is crashing down No solutions can been found We're falling, we're falling Falling apart Just be careful of the world 'Cause it'll chew you up and it'll spit you out It's succumbed to self-invested greed And do you think they give a fuck about you and me? Sitting up in their ivory towers Looking down on us with their crooked smiles Engorging themselves on the pain of the ones Who are easy to please and too weak to fight back I've lost all faith in humanity It's just like a heart attack With no chance of coming back All hope has been left in the dark Just look around us; we're swimming with sharks And while our world is crashing down No solutions can been found We're falling, we're falling We're falling apart (Can we be forgiven?) Can we be forgiven For the sins that we've committed? 'Cause there's always a price that must be paid To stay alive in this hell we've made (It's just like a heart attack) (With no chance of coming back) It's just like a heart attack With no chance of coming back All hope has been left in the dark Just look around us; we're swimming with sharks And while our world is crashing down No solutions can be found We're falling, we're falling Falling apart We're falling, we're falling We're falling, we're falling

I start to sense the panic Coursing through my veins A sickness so bleak and tragic, I feel its symptoms now Just like a noose around my neck And I've spent my whole life Trying to prove to myself that I was good enough When in fact if I'd just opened my eyes I'd have been sure to find what it takes to get better I've lived my life under the shadow of doubt I've lived my life beneath these darkened clouds I've lived my whole life just trying to find a way to get by Instead of fighting to make myself happy I'm cursed by this life I've lead Could you fix me? Because inside I think I'm dead Anxiety creeps up my spine And I lose all breath as it smothers me The world around me starts to fade to black And I feel nothing again, I'm cold just like ice Forgive me for thinking, that I would be just fine 'Cause I don't think my heart can take much more Watching someone else I love walk right out the door And I feel that time's wasting away Stuck with one foot in my grave And I am so afraid, I am so afraid I've lived my life under the shadow of doubt I've lived my life beneath these darkened clouds I've lived my whole life just trying to find a way to get by Instead of fighting to make myself happy And one day I'll tell my sons To follow their dreams no matter the chaos it brings Life is too damn short to wallow In our self-inflicted misery And someday I'll prove to my sons That I'm truly sorry for everything Because I tried my best to love them While also doing what's best for What's best for me I want to live my life Without regret Sometimes I look in the mirror Disgusted by my own reflection That old familiar feeling Creeps back up from the depths to steal my breath again

Spare me, I've wasted too much time Watching my life fall to pieces I'll drown these thoughts out, blackout and erase the pain It's the price I've paid, a game I lose each day And now it's over And now it's over, what a fucking waste What a fucking waste of my time I can only hope one day you'll find someone To give your all to, then be abandoned Like I have been countless times Hopeless and broken every time I think of your eyes I begin to feel as if my chest is caving in Corruption in my skin, a rotting deep within Choke on your promises That you fucking made to me Choke on your apathy You're fucking worthless, I don't deserve this I'll never be what you wanted of me I'll never be what you wanted of me You can slither your way through another fucking lie But what good is a snake without its fucking tongue? And now it's over Spare me I've wasted too much time Watching My life fall to pieces
