I've shared my lyrics with a bunch of people, but all of them know me and I want a true, unbiased opinion. I hate the last one the most, but I want to see what others think.
Closing in on the night
My thought consumes my mind
Lost within my own shallow grave
I tell myself everything will be okay
I can only hope everything will be okay
Why don't I know how to feel?
My mind is tired of playing these games
But the thoughts that haunt my mind wont rest
Blackened skies tell me my future
Surely, my only true weakness is myself
Empty cries resonate through my body
This torture is enough
You and I both know I want out
The blood I've spilled won't ever be enough for you, will it?
Falling down was the easy part
The real task is getting up
Why don't I know how to feel?
My mind is tired of playing these games
But the thoughts that haunt my mind wont rest
Blackened skies tell me my future
Surely, my only true weakness is myself
I'm stuck in a never-ending lie
Digging deeper and deeper never seemed so real
These words have never been so true
"You reap what you sew"
My desperate, worn facade will tell you everything you ever wanted
I've built myself to where I wanted to be
And I crush myself under it all
I've never hoped for so much
And seen so little of it come true
Nothing is okay anymore, is it?
All I'm hearing is shallow lies
Nothing is okay anymore, is it?
Screaming is like music to your ears
And all I'll ever do is hope to break that barrier
But the fog assures me
I will never see who I am again
---
Of course I will always remember the day
I saw her bright eyes leave the room, worn and torn
She had given the world to me but decided to take it back
Paper ghosts and statuesque stares drill away
My heart, left open and blue, sighing, wishing it was no longer you
Don't tell me that those things called dreams
Are just as painful as reality
Because I wasted my life away, and the last thing I want to see
Is reality wasn't any better than what I hoped it would be
We all live under the hope that apologies mean something
It's different when I'm not being looked at face to face
While my heart breaks, for all anyone knows, you care much less
I'll hear you and him, talking back and forth.
And unknowingly, I'll hear the three words I didn't want to hear you say again
Don't tell me that those things called dreams
Are just as painful as reality
Because I wasted my life away, and the last thing I want to see
Is reality wasn't any better than what I hoped it would be
You used to tell me not to crack, used to whisper in my ear
"You and I, we know how to work this out."
And maybe for a while you told the truth
Cause I told myself to believe you
And for the longest while, you knew I did
I'm burning all these pictures now
You would claim they make us remember the good times
Why is it that when I see your face, I don't remember what your voice was like?
Back when there was a difference between love and hate
I don't see a point in remembering your voice
---
So I say we go
And make the world exactly what we want it
Who ever said the cities built on glass would never last?
The people who never really held true
And only saw the world in black and white
I'm going to paint this town
The darkest shade of nothing
And you and I can call it our own
The view from behind the burning glass
It won't save us for long
You and I see more than the stars
But our ascent on the glass won't get us anywhere
I'll jump headfirst into the fire down below
Our city never was so bright as now
I'm going to paint this town
The darkest shade of nothing
And you and I can call it our own
The view from behind the burning glass
It won't save us for long
Shattered and broken
I'll paint this town in the darkest shade
And I'll call it all of my own
I can't provide what you want now
I'm separated by layers of glass
Go ahead and break through them
I'm surely gone by the end of this
Closing in on the night
My thought consumes my mind
Lost within my own shallow grave
I tell myself everything will be okay
I can only hope everything will be okay
Why don't I know how to feel?
My mind is tired of playing these games
But the thoughts that haunt my mind wont rest
Blackened skies tell me my future
Surely, my only true weakness is myself
Empty cries resonate through my body
