(So when you're looking back on everything) (Do you feel ashamed?) Nothing hurts like the truth in plain sight But being too young to Know it's not right that you're Forgotten every night Searching for love you shouldn't have to find (You shouldn't have to find) You caused me to believe Good things weren't meant for me Suppressing every feeling Content with never healing You put me through hell So don't Don't tell me that you meant well You put fear in a heart that would grow To feel so alone A child's mind you weaponizеd And left scars that will never not show Just thought you should know I could nеver seem to get your attention 'Cause your love came with conditions It was never enough Never good enough for you Now you're begging me not to leave But without you I can breathe Wipe the tears from your eyes 'cause you're not worth mine Don't tell me that you meant well You put fear in a heart that would grow To feel so alone A child's mind you weaponized And left scars that will never not show Just thought you should know Looking back on everything you put me through I thought I was to blame So when you're looking back on everything Do you feel ashamed? (No one wants to be alone) (But you deserve this empty home) (Deserve this empty home)

If everything is really as it seems Then why do I feel you're lying through your teeth? When no one's watching and you stop pretending I wonder how quickly you'd Grab a knife just to run it down my spine No hesitation to make me bleed With betrayal on the mind, you fantasize and seethe But you forgot one thing I'm not a lost dog begging for a home Wishing for someone to take control and make me feel I'm not alone You have no leverage on me If you want to be another casualty Then step up, keep your neck exposed Your ego is about to explode I'm seeing through The person you claim to be (I'm not falling for it, I'm not falling for it) I'm not falling for it, there's no convincing me I've had enough of your broken promises If you had a fucking ounce of respect for yourself You'd shut the fuck up With you it's always playing make believe Will you ever stop lying through your teeth? When will you stand up and get the fuck up And tell the truth? I'm seeing through The person you claim to be (I'm not falling for it, I'm not falling for it) I'm not falling for it, there's no convincing me I've had enough of your broken promises I've had enough I'm not falling for it There's no convincing me I'm seeing through you I'm seeing through you Listen to all the voices you drown out You refuse to change When the key is right in front of you, you, you I'm fucking sick of it I'm seeing through The person you claim to be (I'm not falling for it, I'm not falling for it) I'm not falling for it, there's no convincing me I've had enough of your broken promises (Your broken promises) I'm fucking sick of it

You wake up, you wake up Paralyzed, terrified in the dead of night You wake up, you wake up Paralyzed, terrified You can try if you'd like but it's not worth it Too many times I lied just to force it You believe in me but I'll never see Please don't waste your breath I've made peace with death 'Cause I know that I'll never be okay And finding God is such a goddamn cliche What do you see in me? With the weight down on your shoulders (You wake up) You wake up (You wakе up) (Paralyzed, terrified in thе dead of night) Your-your blood's growing colder But I see the light in you And I know you'll make it through Though you feel you're born to lose Like a rhyme that's overused Thinkin' some flowers never bloom 'Cause I know just how you feel inside I know there's hope in the back of your mind I want you to see all that you can be I know you say that you'll never be okay But giving up is the goddamn cliche We're only getting older (So wake up) So wake up (Please wake up) (And realize you can find how to love your life) I know there's weight on your shoulders But it's time that you let go Of the hurt that you hold close It's time for you to choose I said it's time for you to choose To let the flowers bloom You reminded me that it's all worth it Now I can breathe in the air and not force it You believed in me and you helped me to see That maybe I'm in too deep But I'm ready to take the leap

Nothing lasts forever At least nothing worth living for I thought I escaped this, I thought I survived this But now it's suffocating me I can't begin to explain it I know it's over Repeat the lie that I'll make it out alive Please give me peace Put me out of my misery Further In the abyss I start to slip Further Into my head, am I losing it? Further Until I don't what's real or make believe Under the surface where I can no longer Feel the air around me, I wonder Are the thoughts inside my head trying to deceive me? How do I calm myself? Intrusive thoughts are ruining me Talk me off the edge Heavily breathing, I feel my pulse always racing And I keep feeding the beast as I'm almost broken completely I wanna feel something that isn't panic I know it's there, will I ever have it? Waves come falling from the sky I let them wash me away I think it might be my time First it felt like the rain Then it turned into waves I let them wash me away I let them wash me away (Wash me away) (Wash me away) Wash me away

If anyone out there can hear this, please, do not board As much as I want to live and see my family again No one else needs to die Please for the love of God, I repeat, turn back Do not board Do not board Make us whole The blood stains every wall Echoes of the dead scream through the halls I can't believe what's happening What's that sound? Here they come Oh my god, I need to fucking run (Fucking run) This can't be real I must be losing my mind If this is real I must remember Cut thеir fucking limbs off If you want to survive Every mutilated corpsе is so perfectly designed to rip you apart (Rip you apart) Transcend death and let the future take its course Hallucinations, no time to breathe Convergence is nigh, the blind lead the blind The constant dread, endless undead Existential suffering at what cost? I refuse to be a victim of another fucking lunatic That's convinced he's the vessel for humanity's Inevitable transformation into something greater So many pointless deaths in the wake of your fucking delusion Make us whole (Make us whole) Convinced you've saved us all from our worthless existence You've killed them all for fucking nothing If this is how it ends (If this is how it ends) I hope she knew I loved her (I hope she knew I loved her) The things I've seen, the things I've done (The things I've done) Come on then, 'cause this is all I got left This can't be real (This can't be real) If this is real I've lost my fucking mind

Look what we've become, a force of nature Pools of blood are left everywhere You can try to run but you crave the feeling Nothing compares to the power when you stare Into their lifeless eyes The fear felt in their final breath (Final breath) Don't try to pull away and forget what we are You know what we've done There's so much yet to come, don't run I know it hurts But you were nеver meant to escapе Find peace in death, in death (Find peace in death) This can't be happening You've taken everything No more, no more You've taken everything Two minds in one If you want me gone Grab the knife and cut me out You coward, come forward Embrace the things you've done You love it, you crave it I'm not the only one Begging for mercy when you're the one in the driver's seat Pretending to never see the reality that you are me I'm not the one in control, it was always you I know it hurts But you were never meant to escape Find peace in death, in death (Find peace in death) Don't try to pull away and forget what we are You know what we've done You know what we've done Find Peace In Death
