lyrics

Lyrics:
Nothing to show for
Despite each sacrifice.
It seems that my hatred hinders not just myself.

A life's work defaced
Along with my friendships.
Through ritual show me everything I've done wrong.

Hypnotized to the depths
Of unconsciousness
My heart raced as I
Re-lived the fright

Spawning from a choice
That I'll always regret.
I only wanted
To have meaning.

How foolish of me to chase
After the impossible
Having seen others die trying.

Ignored each of your warnings
Laughed and spat in your face
When you were trying to help me.

Chorus:
Give all of these empty dreams to someone who has use for them
Tell them I had no chance to amount to anything.
So don't feel any guilt.

A worried voice tries
To wake me from the trance.
Instead I followed shrieks into the darkness.

With each step closer
More apprehensions bloomed
The once helpless cries
Turned malignant.

There stood a wretched
Impostor of myself
Reflecting back truths
I had blocked out.

I'll always remember how
The phantom silhouette
Perfectly showed my worthlessness.

The person I've hidden from
Therapists and myself
Can not be denied anymore

Chorus:
Give all of these empty dreams to
Someone who has use for them
Tell them I had no chance to amount to anything.

Give all of my promises to everyone who's still waiting
It's become obvious
That I'll never be able to
You all deserved better.


My desires, they make me feel so fucking filthy.
How could I betray all of you with no hesitation?

I hate how much I want it.
I try to turn away
But I'm far too pathetic and weak to regain control.

Remorse clings to my skin
Deforming me
Into the disgraceful man
I really am.

Remorse clings to my skin
Deforming me
So others know not to trust
Me ever again.

I'm so sorry for each of my lies,
And taking anger out on you.
I'm going to stay here in the blackness
Just please don't miss me.

Leave me here to die.

Chorus
