I pick my skin for the thrill of it, map constellations on my face.
I bite my nails until I bleed the quicks, I never love the way it tastes.
I've been a stranger of my own flesh, but no one else's seems to fit.
I thought I wouldn't make it, I fought so hard to take it,
But you cant hold my hand if I'm dead.
I see it in the review, now I've got a clear view,
It doesn't hurt like hell like you said.
Like you said
The ends bittersweet
Lays just out of reach
Still it bruises me
Still it bruises me
Chew my cheeks like an anxious child, words still stuck between my teeth.
To dull the stars I set myself on fire, burn the ones we use to be.
I thought I wouldn't make it, I fought so hard to take it,
But you cant hold my hand if I'm dead.
I see it in the review, now I've got a clear view,
It doesn't hurt like hell like you said.

Come a little bit closer, I'll tell you when its over.
I wanna speak of regrets, spit shame till there's nothing left.
The fear of running out of time, still offers me some peace of mind.
If there's only calm in the dead of night, let's fade till sunrise.
Felt grief give way to anger, mad a mess of perfect strangers.
If that's the only way out, I came to make them all proud
I still carry all their mistakes, weight of which just takes and takes.
If its only safe when i close my eyes, lets make them all cry.
I wont change, I've tried.
It's all rage Inside.
You want hate, have mine.
It's such a waste, but what a ride.
I move a little slower with this chip on shoulder.
Let it pass before the weekend, or find me diving off the deep end.
Pain always finds a reason, gets louder through the seasons.
If its only quiet when I'm dreaming, Let us dance until they're screaming.
