lyrics

_______________________________

Your words don't cut me up
They nail me to the floor
You said you've had enough
But I can't help but feel ignored
I'll sit inside the flames
And pretend it doesn't burn
Listen to what you have to say
While I patiently wait my turn

I find a love for the feeling
To feel nothing at all
I dance with all my demons
And pick them up when they all fall
I'll find a way to use them
Because I think they're here to stay
I'll pull them even closer
Instead of pushing them away

So throw me to the dogs
The pain never hurt like the truth
There's nothing else for us to do
So let them tear me apart
Show me what's inside and I'll show you
If you can find a way to pull me through

Am I the only one who sees
The bloodstains on my hands
When will I finally accept
The things I’ll never understand
I'll stop myself from believing
When I forget to close my eyes
I won't accept this feeling
I'd prefer to live a lie
