I need a new start.
These worn out faces hold no place in my heart.
I've never been so ashamed of who I am or what I've done, or the person I've become.
If you need me, you can find me with these words caught in my throat.
If I spit them out I'll break the silence.
I think I'd rather choke.
I'm just an angry kid with too much to lose, and not enough to say.
I'll never understand what you saw in me.
What happens when I die?
Will I see the light?
Is darkness all that I'll find?
I don't know and frankly couldn't care.
There's no god in the sky to fucking answer my prayers, so fucking answer my prayers.
I'm just an angry kid with too much to lose, and not enough to say.
I'll never understand what you saw in me.
It's hard to look at the bright side when I haven't seen the sun in days.
I'm searching for the color in a world that's shades of gray.
Detachment defines me.
This body confines me.
There is no other escape that I can see.
The light at the end of the tunnel, so bright that it blinds me.
I've searched and never found any way to fucking cope.
I'll die the way I lived, at the end of my fucking rope.
