lyrics

V1

The spark is out,
Try to relight it but I ain't got no flint,
Keep rubbin sticks together but I cant seem to make
The friction needed to begin,
Try to get a grip, hold on to the fragments left,
Of a life that I once knew,
Though I choose my own destruction,
I can't seem to just break through,
All the walls that I've put up,
And all the ones that others built,
Enclosed in concrete, can't break free,
Can't stay driven by guilt,
So I take the pill like a good boy,
Drink the medicine like I been told,
How many more years can I handle it,
While my flesh is growing cold

Chorus

How could I let it come to this,
I can see no way out,
These walls are so tall that I'm losing my mind,
And I can't breath

V2

Drownin in an ocean of potion,
With the notion that it heals,
But the harm is gettin much worse than the joy I feel,
Brakes sqweel while the rubber slides,
Hold the wheel,
Try to miss the wall but I hit,
Full speed through the barrier strip,
Stand up, feet lose their grip,
And I slip back in the broken whip,
Pinned in to this hell,
Try to get the fuck out but I fail,
And as the cops arrive and they try to revive,
Thought pops in my mind,
Do I wanna survive?
Stay alive to strive for what?
To open doors that I'll slam shut?
To hurt more than I already have?
To take more while you pay the tab?

Chorus

Lay your eyes and see what you've made,
Torn apart from the inside out,
Won't be long until I finally break,
Away from these chains

V3

I just wanna be able to pay back the good deeds,
Harvest the seeds implanted in me,
Pick all the weeds between the concrete,
Hope the all recede, until then I bleed,
Regrets will always supercede,
All the things that I've done right,
As a child of the night,
I stay outta the light,
Too bright, my sight don't like white,
And so I write this plea to my concience,
Hope that motherfucker listens in,
Let me live a little less tormented,
Make a little better decisions,
Help me to see my wrongs,
Struggle but find my way,
Before all hope is gone,
For this I hope and pray

I cant fight it anymore,

Theres no more I can do,
To take back the things that I've done,
I can't run,

I've heard this all before,
Its nothin new to me,
This life I can't endore,
Here for the world to see,

How many times will I survive
