lyrics

Stretched across the pavement
The ruts pierce my skin
The dying name that fuels my veins
Is anything but soft
Stuck on a bus with no direction
Praying that it stops
There’s no cure for a ghost like me
But a million reasons to set me free

If I can't shake this
I can't explain
What's happened to me
Empty shells do not repel
The damage it has done to me
I tried and I missed it
I never should have fucked with this
I'm left screaming
(Make this all okay)

I’m stuck tossing and turning
While my sweat is cold as ice
My hot mouth dries
My veins collapse
As I wait for time to elapse
I cannot say I like this
But I need it more and more
I'm left walking dead
I'm screaming
(Make this all okay)

I lye in my cage
Drowning my mind
Diluting the fact
That I'm sitting on my grave
A dishonorable death
No one has arrived
They're right not to care
The truth they wouldn’t bear
All is wasted
We're all defeated
Acceptance is cheated
As the creature lies infected
But I still cannot reject it
We’re all waiting
Contemplating
The casualties to this disease
I'm left screaming
(Make this all okay)

If I can't shake this
I can't explain
What's happened to me
Empty shells do not repel
The damage it has done to me
I tried and I missed it
I never should have fucked with this
What’s left at the sight
Is my corpse staring down at me

Stretched across the pavement
The ruts pierce my skin
The dying name that fuels my veins
Is anything but soft
Stuck on a bus with no direction
Praying that it stops
There’s no cure for a ghost like me
But a million reasons to set me free
