Swan Song

Some nights I lay awake and think of ones who'd passed away What they'd be like and how they'd act if they were here today I get choked up thinkin' of things we used to say and do We probably fucked each other’s lives but now we're makin' do It's so sad, it's so sad, the way they look at me Like I’ve got, like I’ve got, answers to anything You know me, you know me, I’ve got a lot to say But it's in vain, it's insane and you won't feel the same (Are you listening to me? I hope you can feel) (You'rе in my dreams, they're feeling so rеal) Are you listening to me? I hope you found peace 'Cause I'd give anything to trade in your place You suffered alone, it's like the distance had grown I was so wrapped up in me, felt like you just let me go I had no conscience with you, I'd take a life just to prove Your trust is safe in my hands, and we got nothing to lose I got some closure before, but now I'm scratching the scars If you can hear this, I hate the way you ripped us apart But I failed you, I know You were frail too, so low I could fight it enough At least I had ones to love Get right with it man, get right Get right with it man, get right Get right with it man, get right Get right with it man, get right (I see the room is spinning now) (I choke on my own hypocrisy) I was never clean I wear a face that belongs on another man's body Every day I'm alive I feel replaced, rearranged, and the visions always haunt me (I don't wanna be alive) (I don't wanna face the things that I’ve done wrong) I don't wanna be alive I don't wanna face the things that I’ve done wrong Did wrong, or did right It should be me in the ground a thousand fucking times And my voice, how I'm heard When you were triple the man and now you fill the dirt Take me, take me now Take me from this place

Dear friend, I was thinking of you today 6 lines, 4 tries just to hit the vein When I see your son I break And hope he shares his mother's strength 'Cause your drip won't go away Fell in love in a coma state And my arms had carried you The same ones will bury too And we've buried enough This weight was already just way too much And your suffering soul (suffering soul) Was a way to escape the life that you chose If you fall again, you're on your own Untied my wrists, I won't sink with them No tears fell down my face I was loved in a crooked way And my fears weren't aimed at you 'Cause you were strung every fucking day Pray I cover these holes These holes in your stories I'm sick of them all 'Cause when the light shines through All that’s left are the memories of you If you fall again, you're on your own Untied my wrists, I won't sink with them And when it's all through You'll feel the somber truth Loved ones had pulled away Did what they had to do, did what they Did what they had to do We let you take everything we held dear Gave nothing in return, so let me make this clear If you fall again, you're on your own Untied my wrists, I won't sink with them And when it's all through You'll feel the somber truth Loved ones had pulled away Did what they had to do

I think I’ve been too hard on myself I know I'm just passing through I still don't sleep and I don't trust myself To be the strongest for you It's all so strange and I don't recognize Faces of ones I adored I tried my best to keep moving forward But there's wounds that can't be ignored It's too far gone You know it's true I still remember the times We'd pry into the other's ego And you'd redefine what I thought made me so evil You're not to blame and it's a shame I don't feel things how I should And your distaste to words I say Leaves us both misunderstood It kills mе to say It's too far gone You know it's true I've fallеn way too short My heart's been cold and weary I'm all so sure, but it's so temporary Left scars in my skin And your words they transcend And these holes run so deep But I dive in endlessly Leave my failures on display I'll drain myself, I'll grow for you We're too far gone You know it's true I've fallen way too short My heart's been bold and weary I'm all too sure but it's so temporary I've opened my arms Embraced the pain I gave I meant you no harm I was so sick when you came If you need to leave take every fragment from me When I try to love my failures seep through the seams Through the seams We're too far gone You know it's true I've fallen way too short My heart's been cold and weary I'm all so sure, but it's so temporary

Buried my face within my hands The same hands that erased him I've lived in metaphors Why don't they question a thing? I've said it all before They follow religiously What if they truly knew how much I led them astray? Can hardly look at you knowin' your soul isn't safe (Not safe, not safe, not safe) I'm just a paradigm A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse When will they recognize they jeopardize morality? They're following no one they should idolize Ooh, we stand like gods amongst weak men Could we save them? Is there interest? What is my voice to you? Do I give something you need? Grant me my solitude Or manifest like disease You want the painful truth? I never came here to serve And if you're still confused Look to my words for the proof I'm just a paradigm A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse When will they recognize they jeopardize morality? They're following no one they should idolize We're all just venturing aimless With hopes to transcend If there's a price on the answer you're just a number to them (That stupid motherfucker) Just a number to them We stand like gods amongst weak men Do we save them? Is there interest? I'm just a paradigm A flawless excuse to never analyze the form of abuse When will they recognize they jeopardize morality? They're following no one they should idolize

Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna be? Who do you wanna be? It never made much sense I never gave you what you need Grew a separate way most every day But I'm happy that you left And oh it hurt so good I took solace in regret And like half the time, I'd waive the crime like you left me your debt I never thought you would I never thought you'd pull away In exchange, I was thrown into a better place (Who do you wanna be) But I lived to brеak you And I want to To clear your name We'rе both to blame I left you alone with no one I'm ashamed It's killing me, those things I said It's so hard to see the clearest in the dread It never made much sense There was a wall you couldn't climb And you failed to see your self-esteem is something you define And all the good in you, was never my job here to find So I stayed away so you could take the steps to realize But I stayed It robbed us every single day the way we threw the things we knew would break And now, through your hands I wake the way that I was meant to be With one who feeds me endlessly So now, to clear your name We're both to blame I left you alone with no one I'm ashamed It's killing me, those things I said It's so hard to see the clearest in the dread I could never put you before myself You remember the way it made you feel I was so low I couldn't pull this weight So you cut through, left me to face my shame To clear your name We're both to blame I left you alone with no one I'm ashamed It's killing me, those things I said It's so hard to see the clearest in the dread

And now I'm begging for your love But know there's nothing left from you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose I guess the feeling was off The tension extreme I'd laid on a cross forsaken it seemed Torn and ashamed The cycle remains I'm draining us again And now I hold my weight like it's a thousand chains I try to pull my legs to keep from sinking in (From sinking in) And now I'm begging for your love But know there's nothing left from you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for a chance to prove I stripped myself of my health, of my gratitude You move in waves so I chase just to sink with you If I'm just pulling you under, detach and move forward And don't look back here again I see the way, it's deepening I hope you feel afraid, it's real again We're losing it So I keep holding on and on Praying no love is gone But now I'm begging for your love But know there's nothing left from you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for your love And you got me begging for a chance to prove So maybe someday we'll be something Maybe it’ll be alone So for as long as I'm alive I'm giving everything to you It's all too heavy for my heart to lose

Her body dangled from my arms, slowly starts to slip away I'd gone too far, I'd fed into an aching soul Believed the lies I told myself, and they took control (This image burned into my sight) This image burned into my sight I split my skin for the last time So I just pace the room collecting myself Contemplating the next move and oh I feel There's nothing left here for me Once again I'm my own worst enemy Face it, my shaking hands had nothing to give you Lately, I don't see my face the way that I used to Pierce my skin, drag my bones I'll keep this buried in my soul Pierce my skin, drag my bones It's all much easier alone Pierce my skin, drag my bones I'll keep this buried in my soul Pierce my skin, drag my bones It's all much easier alone And I’ll lose everything for you (For you) 'Cause you were whole without me As I was self-destructing And I just need you to know I tried letting go but nothing would let me So here it goes, I’ll tell the whole world It's been me, It's been me I'm the sick one it shows I mask what I can Hurt the ones who had nurtured the man that I am

I still remember a time when I felt centered You're tearing out the pages of me A cold dead November with nights I won't remember I'd fallen even deeper within You'd taken my burden And made it your own And when I tried to break you You pulled me closer than I thought I could get You're sinking deeper in me And there's no way you'll be freed Freed from me Why am I always a crutch now? I've carried my fate out My failures had cost me Displayed for the whole crowd And I've laid down to sleep with no intention to wake My mother's prayed for my peace but it's been years and she waits For me to break Why am I always a crutch now? I've carried my fate out My failures had cost me Displayed for the whole crowd And I've laid down to sleep with no intention to wake My mother's prayed for my peace but it's been years and she waits
