I spent my waking nights rotting out my teeth
Drowning my sorrows as I longed for endless sleep
I held onto my pride as the world fell at my feet
I guess I let my demons get the best of me
I felt myself falling to sleep while the world fell beneath my feet
I will fall as I succumb to the sheets, I'm feeling weak
Weary and beaten / tired and worn
I hang my head / my crown of thorns
Looking into / the mirror of time
I see through all the lies
I'm losing sight of / what's real and what's fake
Been trying for years / you know I won't change
At the wheel of / another mistake
Can you help me dig / a deeper grave?
I felt myself falling to sleep while the world fell beneath my feet
I will fall as I succumb to the sheets, I'm feeling weak
Looking inside to find the reasons why
The mirror of time, I see through all the lies
[Alijah Andrade of Alive & Fighting]:
But truth is I'd be happy being anywhere else but here. Like maybe if it was six feet lower and the walls and pressure were made of dirt. But who knows, maybe the transition won't hurt as much as they say it'll hurt.
I could take away the pain
I could finally make a change
I could sleep forever
I will fall as I close my eyes, lay me down to sleep
I will fall as I succumb to the sheets, I'm feeling weak
Looking inside to find the reasons why
The mirror of time, I'm rotting out my teeth
Just let me sleep

I've become the host
Please just take me away, I'm falling apart
And finding it hard to see through the dark
My mind is drifting away
Searching for the will to make it day to day
Take a look through the window to my soul
Don't think I can carry on anymore
It's clawing at my sanity
Gnawing at the parts that make me whole
Why can't you see it's killing me?
It's burrowing deep inside, inside of me
Why can't you see it's consuming me?
Eating me alive
I've become the host
Of the parasite feared the most
The sickness spreads, the anger rises
Can't trust my thoughts, they're full of surprises
I've become the host
The embodiment, the living ghost
Of a monster writhing deep within these bones
Why can't you see it's killing me?
It's burrowing deep inside, inside of me
Why can't you see it's consuming me?
Crawling down my spine
Crawling down my spine
I've become the host

She stitched her skin to the sheets
She was so afraid to leave
The world became smaller than it ever had before
And that was when he came home and threw down the door
She could smell the alcohol on her breath
She could feel her heart tighten in her chest
It was "all her fault", she "deserved this",
After all, he "never meant to do it on purpose"
He said he'd change, he'd change, but he stayed the same
He said he'd be a better man and he'd change his ways
He said he'd change, he'd change, but he stayed the same
He made her life a living hell but she endured the pain
Sick to my stomach with a smile I have to fake
Stuck in this glass house that I can't break
I'm not as strong as I make myself out to be
Can anybody take my hand and rescue me?
This house is not a home
I am weary to the bone
But I can't leave, I can't leave
I'm so afraid he'll make me bleed again
Sick to my stomach with a smile I have to fake
Stuck in this glass house that I can't break
I'm not as strong as I make myself out to be
Can anybody take my hand and rescue me?
This was it, she'd had enough
It was about that she stood up
She ran to the phone and dialed 911
For the first time in forever, she saw the sun

I shot the devil in the back
I shaped the world from endless black
Things will never be the same
And all the world will know my name
Now you will see
Now you will see, the devil's inside of me
I'm my own enemy
Please God, just set me free
I shot the devil
And now the devil's on my back
And though I am heaped with chains,
Motherfucker, you will know my name

I told myself that this was the end
Went straight to the break, skipped the bend
I've had it up to here with drowning in my sleep
I spent my waking nights running circuits of my misery
Why can't I
Close my eyes?
Keeping myself awake
Running from this place
And I don't think that I could stand on my own two feet again
Until you showed me what it means to be a man
And I did not think that I could stand on my own two feet again
Until you built me up and you made me a man
I spiraled deeper into my own thoughts
Blood stained the floor like inkspots
Poised for the kill, no turning back
Falling into that endless black
And I don't think that I could stand on my own two feet again
Until you showed me what it means to be a man
And I did not think that I could stand on my own two feet again
Until you built me up and you made me a man
Why can't I
Close my eyes?
Mouth full of lead
Getting closer to the edge
And I don't think that I can stand
On my own two feet again
If it wasn't for the things you said
I wouldn't have made it out of my head
I filed my teeth to the nerve
A lesson lived is a lesson learned
