Take every part of me and throw it out the window
We dug a hole for complacency and buried all our dreams
and emptiness became a home that I learned to live in
So wipe your feet, enjoy your stay, you can let yourself in
Now this life we're born into, it's a struggle to get by
So we're searching for reasons to keep ourselves alive
I'm stuck in the dark, and can't find the light
So I lie in this room and wait out the night
and I swear (I swear!) that this isn't right!
This isn't the way that someone should live their life
Should I care? About the way that things have been?
When I can barely seem to control them?
and I swear (I swear..) I've waited my whole life
To win this fight, on those demons inside!
and I know I've gotta make it end
But I just don't know how to win..
I'll burn every bridge and bury myself, and lose my alone
I can do this alone, this place, this place is slowly becoming my home
Take every part of me, and throw it out the window
"You're a failure, you're a fool, for what you've grown into"
That's all I hear as it rings out of my ears.
Take every part of me, I've let myself go
I've broken in solitude, so many times before...
What the hell am I wasting my time on?
I've been prying open locks, opening closed doors
Where has my head been at? Cause all I've loved, I've loved all alone.
and when I made this bed, I knew I'd lie in it
I knew I'd spin in circles and do this time and time again.
