let's not sugar coat this, it's not that sweet, my mind restrains my lips from speaking those words no one wants to hear, those words someone has to say. it's time to kiss goodbye. i'm so close to ripping out my heart, i'm so close to throwing it in your face. where would i be then? no better off than i am now. alone, afraid, desensitized. this is not the first time and i'm sure its not the last. this is the one thing i am sure of, the one thing i know. let me ask you a question, do you know what's wrong with me? can you give me an answer? if not then leave me the fuck alone, quit playing hero. honestly these tears are not for you, these tears are for me. the me inside of me, the one that no one has seen, the me i strive to be. i am so alone, now i'm afraid of becoming desensitized. at least i think that's what i want. do you know what i want? do you know who i am? do you like who i've become?

When a fool begins to explain he's in love Where's the sympathy when he feels he should give up Well I patiently wait for you Where does truth begin when you know that it hurts All the time you spent you feel it's time to give up I know you'll never come My arms will not take hold of you But instead of giving up I wait I patiently wait for you in the dark To fall into my arms When a fool begins to explain he's in love Where's the sympathy when he feels he should give up I know you'll never come My arms will not take hold of you But instead of giving up I waited all my life for this I wait

Put on flesh and run it through The things you love, they will destroy you When the seasons change, my scars burn Another day of I'll never learn Those words took you but seconds to say Forever more and since that day They will replay I cease to resist your sweet lips I cease to exist Your arsenic kiss The more time passes by The more I realize you and I Were just a lie So many years believing Belief turned to hope Hope changed to doubt That became bitterness Which to this day Turns me inside out Those words took you but seconds to say Forever more and since that day They will replay I cease to resist your sweet lips I cease to exist Your arsenic kiss The more time passes by The more I realize you and I Were just a lie

Nothing was supposed to hurt like this. missing you was always one more kiss. now there's nothing that i can do. one more nail in the coffin, and it's all for you. always were and always were a simple love story. you were everything i ever hoped and dreamed. drown me in a pool of my blood. it's getting harder just to breathe. i'll suffocate you faster just so you can't see, so you can't see me sleep. it's getting harder just to say the right things. i've seen the angel's face, and i've heard her sing to me. from my reflection on this razor blade, i've heard ten thousand dying screams, and they're calling me. the day will break on this saddest day, so don't let me wake. i've heard this all before, and i've seen this over and over again. don't let me wake. drown me in a pool of my blood. it's getting harder just to breathe. i'll suffocate you faster just so you can't see, so you can't see me sleep. so you can't see me sleep. the day will break on this saddest day, so don't let me wake. i've heard this all before, and i've seen this over and over again. don't let me wake. nothing was supposed to hurt like this. and missing you, was always one more kiss. and now there's nothing that i can do. there's just one more nail in the coffin. there's just one more nail, and it's all for you. i've seen the angel's face, and i've heard her sing to me. from my reflection on this razor blade, i've heard ten thousand dying screams, and they're calling me. the day will break on this saddest day, so don't let me wake. i've heard this all before, and i've seen this over and over again. don't let me wake.

this is just the in between the point where worries can shatter dreams this is that look like i'm going to throw it all away this is infatuations best kept secret and those are the hovering eyes that glide and glare so not another word of this conscious bending conversation i'll find it before i revolve around the tips of their tongues

As we lie here in bed Your eyes run right through me Did you hear what I said I'm falling I'm falling down Falling down She said And I thought that you would listen We were not meant to end I still don't know What we always were And I thought that you would give in You told me love would never die But you lied You always lied There was a time I thought you were something Something that I would never be Now is the time I know that you're nothing nothing That I would want to be Did you hear a thing I said? Your eyes roll right through me And I thought that you would listen We were not meant to end I still don't know What we always were And I thought that you would give in You told me love would never die But you lied You always lied There was a time I knew you were something Something that I would never be Now is the time I know that your nothing Nothing that I would want to be I feel like I am falling into my needs I need for you to open your eyes So give me one more try I'll show you i can this time To give my life So give me one more try So give me one more try I feel the sun now I feel the sun now

I'm feeling a distance Something I never thought could be Help me I'm changing Help me I need your sympathy Won't you save me And take me in, take me in Won't you save me And take me in, take me in If you say what a waste then take me in Won't you save me I'm asking It gets harder the more That you don't believe in me Hate me for quitting Don't hate me for falling on my knees Won't you save me And take me in, take me in Won't you save me And take me in, take me in If you say what a waste then take me in Won't you save me I'm asking Won't you save me And take me in, take me in Won't you save me And take me in, take me in If you say what a waste then take me in Won't you save me I'm asking Won't you save me And take me in, take me in Won't you save me And take me in, take me in If you say what a waste then take me in Won't you save me I'm asking

we drove these streets heads to shoulders existing to tell the tales of letting go and now we're strangled to tears on the fallback farewell its all in our heads the faint whispers i tried to tell myself when its already over that the reasons found decoys and this is holding me back as if to say what you thought you heard i wish i did i don't want to feel this pull as this city becomes home without you
9.
you are the fucking disease. another day, another memory. but i have fucking failed. i turned another lie into the work of a saint. so where is the cure? hundreds of souls with the look of horror on their face. now i rise from my knees. i will not live in misery. you won't take me. you won't take me. now it's me. now it's me. all that's left is a bitter taste of a life that was once so promising. rather cut at the wrist than laugh about your mistakes. sickness fills the air. another life that you wish you could fake. your eyes will cut through me, but it's a risk, that i must fucking take. i must take. so where is the cure? hundreds of souls with the look of horror on their face. now i rise from my knees. i will not live in misery. you won't take me. you will not destroy me. you cannot destroy me. and i'll fight you with every ounce of strength i have left, and i'll seal it with a bullet and a kiss. so look at your fucking horror. horror. i want to see your face. show me your true face. i want to see your face. show me your true face. my heart belongs to you, so save me. my heart belongs to you, so save me, for the sake to give it away. still beats, still beats inside of me. my heart belogns to you, so save me. and my heart still beats. and my heart still beats. my heart still beats, so save me. my heart still beats.

This is my life down here with me One mistake for which I still pay dearly Self-reconstruction after a granted wish for annihilation The dissection of definition the bitter bite of memory Cringing in anticipation The reflections on which we used to rely crushed were we to discover that they could only lie Don't lie to me and say you'd die for me What would you die for
