Why won’t you look at me when I’m talking to you? You’re afraid to see the things that you don’t like, afraid to see the truth. You were never good with tension, and you haven’t improved since then (Why have you come back again?) No I’ve got you all wrong, no I’ve got you all wrong. You were never gone. No you were never gone. Apparitions overhead, let me go. No place to go to, to be alone. How do you kill a ghost? How to kill a memory (Stuck inside my head) I’ve tried all the usual (Fired shots invisible) But you’re still in my head. I bet you think that I was unaware I know you like to say that this is somehow fair. Well c’mon, c’mon, have some shame I know exactly who is who. You think that I don’t have a clue. How do you kill a ghost? How do you kill a memory? you’re still in my head

How could you know, that I won’t let you go? Maybe that’s what you want, but you keep leading me on… How could I go, when you’re all that I know? Will I be sober, when this is over? And its, My Fault, blood in vain for you. And the air stops, and you won’t stop. Bad call shouldn’t stand up to you. Cause you won’t stop and breaths caught. Help me through this, my haze of madness Help me to stay in this shit place we’ve made, with the holes in the ceiling and cracked fading pain feel its disease, in the air that we breathe. Throw away all our dreams, pick away at the seams, pierce my ears with your screams, point your finger at me. CAUSE IT’S… Fuck this burn this the method of your madness wanna tell you it’s over but still need another piece of you (piece of you)

You had me feeling fine, the letter addressed to someone you loved and left behind you made me believe in something I wanted needed you couldn’t let me in I guess it’s just a pipe dream I guess it’s just foolish for me to believe in something; any something that brings me to my whole You said everything’s alright (everything, everything) so why am I sitting here losing my mind? you set me up to lose this fight (you set me up, you set me up) But you’re the coward you won’t set this right But I guess this is what you’d expect of us running in circles leaving the truth in the dust You led me down all of your broken paths you told me we’d find serenity but you only showed me the dead ends you always had me worrying, questioning, I couldn’t see, I had to believe but as it turns out you couldn’t care less kick me down and spit on me I still can’t believe I didn’t see I guess it’s just fucked up for me to trust in someone; any someone who claims they have my soul

It’s been such a long week since you last looked at me smiled in my face and you told me were done I don’t belong guess I just can’t ever know if fit in or if I’m a loser at all Its only your fault So let me go I’ll be alright Forty days since the last time I ever saw your face it’s a disgrace I’ll be alright It’s been forty days since the last time I ever saw your face it’s a disgrace I’ll be alright Guess I just can’t brush my clothes off, wash myself off avoid a breakdown I get a huge smile on my face whenever I relive those days now every day I find myself breaking in two just breaking in two I guess that’s okay
