Everything will fade to grey Nothing's sticking in my head, anyway As I lay in sheer dismay Of the world I've built for myself day after day it's Not unreasonable to be so miserably when Everything I've done has landed me this way Silent overdrive of all my thoughts inside, I I wanna shout out, but I don't know what to say
I know you wanna hear I'm fine But that's just not the truth this time You treat my sorrow like a crime But I'm tired of trying, tired of dying They say these things are meant to be But all I know is misery I'm showing you the best of me But I'm tired of trying, tired of lying to you
While I etch my life in stone With a fist full of sand to bury all I've known Drink the sweat and tears off all my dreams and all my fears And as it all comes down (and down and down, and down) Everything has come apart Now I'm back here at the start And though I'm promised it gets better I've made failure an art Why do you put up with my tries They might as well have all been lies With all the shit in which I thrive, It's a wonder I'm alive!
I know you wanna hear I'm fine But that's just not the truth this time You treat my sorrow like a crime But I'm tired of trying, tired of dying They say these things are meant to be But all I know is misery I'm showing you the best of me But I'm tired of trying, tired of lying to you
Every time I close my eyes, I see all that I despise every memory of mine that has worn me over time Crushing every dream I know, let the vines begin to grow Overtaking all I see, like a toxic melody I am not your new messiah I will never take you higher Don't you put your trust in me If you ever want to see I will simply put it in you all the hate that I have been through Keep away, or you'll stay, and your life will rot away
