It washes over me Grabs a hold of me It digs in deep And I can hardly breathe The waves are crashing in The tide has come to pull me back in It’s like the weight of it all It comes from the chain That I can’t seem to break And I can’t seem to face What I cannot escape Erase Erase it all Tear down the walls Erase Someone tell me how to Chase the dark Erase these thoughts It burns my heart Erase it all The flood is coming in And I don’t know how long before I give in Let the current take me The weight of it all It comes from the chain That I can’t seem to break And I can’t seem to face What I cannot escape Erase Erase it all Tear down the walls Erase Tell me how to Chase the dark And turn the light on So turn the light on Turn the light on Turn the light on Turn the light on Erase it all Tear down the walls Erase Someone tell me how to Chase the dark Erase these thoughts (Turn the light on) It burns my heart Erase it all So turn the light on Turn the light on So turn the light on Turn the light on Turn the light on Turn the light on

Something’s pulling on my heartstrings The way it makes me feel Like everyone’s against me I don’t know what is real Won’t you integrate My saturated soul, soul Make my heart beat again Make my heart beat again Make my heart beat again Something’s weighing on my shoulders The weight is all I feel Like everything’s about me I don’t know what is real Won’t you integrate My saturated soul, soul Make my heart beat again Make my heart beat again Make my heart beat again Won’t you integrate My saturated soul, soul Make my heart beat again I can’t separate the pain From the blood inside my veins I can’t find the cure to silence All the questions in my brain Make my heart beat again

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming, confusing This lack of self-control I fear is never ending Controlling, I can't seem To find myself again My walls are closing in I've felt this way before So insecure Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me Distracting, reacting Against my will I stand beside my own reflection It's haunting how I can't seem To find myself again My walls are closing in (There's too much pressure to take) I've felt this way before So insecure Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing confusing what is real There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, consuming Confusing what is real This lack of self-control I fear is never ending, controlling (I can't seem) Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing confusing what is real

The weight of the silence is breaking my bones Making my heart sink like a stone If we bury our fears in the darkness below They’ll come back to haunt us when we are alone Don’t know where to find the end When will this all be over I feel so disconnected from everything Everything around me All I ever wanted was to feel like I belong Somewhere else than here Take a step inside my chest And feel the heat from the fire These scars they won’t show but They hurt to the bones and Deep within my soul I feel so disconnected from everything Everything around me All I ever wanted was to feel like I belong Somewhere else than here I feel so disconnected from everything Everything around me All I ever wanted was to feel like I belong Don’t know where to find the end When will this all be over Don’t know where to find the end When will this all be over I feel so disconnected from everything Everything around me All I ever wanted was to feel like I belong Somewhere else than here I feel so disconnected from everything Everything around me All I ever wanted was to feel like I belong Somewhere else than here

How am I supposed to tell you that I feel like I'm dying Withering inside that place where my heart should be I just want you to touch my life I just want you to touch my life In that place where my heart should be Do I hold the answers Should I find them in the silence Are you the answer I dwell in the dark places It's like I want to feel like nothing So that love can mean something How am I supposed to tell you that I feel like I'm dying Withering inside that place where my heart should be I'm not as strong as you think I'd be As I would like to be As you need me to be Do I hold the answers Should I find them in the silence Are you the answer I dwell in the dark places It's like I want to feel like nothing So that love can mean something I dwell in the dark places It's like I want to feel like nothing So that love can mean something What died away from your memory Is still a picture in my head What died away from your memory Is still a picture in my head A mark on my soul, a sting in my heart A mark on my soul, a sting in my heart A mark on my soul, a sting in my heart A mark on my soul, a sting in my heart A mark on my soul, a sting in my heart A mark on my soul, a sting in my heart

You're missing the signs Because it's not what you're looking for Faith is no bargain, cheaply bought off of trickster hands The way of the shark is a middle way And the end of the road is a sharp mouth of knives That thirsts for the clenching Yeah, it thirsts for the clenching Everything I need, everything I touch Turns to quicksand The harder I try, I try so hard It slips right through my fingers Belief is a virtue which no conjurer can fable for idle ears The path of the unfailing is a lions den for the simple-hearted In the end, it is the gap of the serpent that burrows in the deep Yeah, it burrows in the deep Everything I need, everything I touch Turns to quicksand The harder I try, I try so hard It slips right through my fingers I am the awaited burst with the sun in my back Burning your wounds and igniting mine I am wine to your water No matter how much you pour the dilution it won't whitewash my wrong My wrong The harder I try, I try so hard Everything I need, everything I touch Turns to quicksand The harder I try, I try so hard It slips right through my fingers

I'm begging you let go for heaven's sake I promise you there's nothing left to take Put a hole in my head and a lock on my chest I'll be better of this way So break my legs and pull me to pieces You stabbed my heart now I want you to see this When I walk out with my head held high Break my legs and pull me to pieces You stabbed my heart now I want you to feel this Better look me straight into the eye This is goodbye I'm begging you don't look what's underneath I'm telling you there's nothing left to see Put a hole in my head and a lock on my chest I think I'm better of this way I think I'm better of this way Break my legs and pull me to pieces You stabbed my heart now I want you to see this When I walk out with my head held high Break my legs and pull me to pieces You stabbed my heart now I want you to feel this Better look me straight into the eye This is goodbye This is goodbye I'm begging you let go (This is goodbye) I promise you (This is goodbye) I'll be better of this way (This is goodbye) I'll be better of this way
