Bury me
Just leave me to sleep in the dirt
Finish me
I'm floating away
There's a demon staring straight through your eyes
Am I wasting my time?
Somethings turning inside of me
You make me feel like I'm fucking drowning (I need to cut you out)
You made my world come crashing down around me (I need to cut you out)
Oh God I wish you'd just speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
I've been crucified and hung out to dry
Yet my heart still beats and I feel so alive
This time I'll fight for myself as you try to fuck me over
I bet you never cared
I knew you never cared
You make me feel like I'm fucking drowning (I need to cut you out)
You made my world come crashing down around me (I need to cut you out)
Speak to me
Black is all that I see
Speak to me
You used to be all that I needed
I need to cut you out
I wish you could save me
There's something lost inside
I'm scared it might kill me
All my life I've needed you with me
You've always let me down
But still I try
Don't leave me here
I need you around (don't turn your back on me)
Lift my feet off the ground (I can't cut you out)
Your tongue like a knife
Your eyes cut like daggers
I don't feel a thing ’cause I'm so dead inside
Lift my feet off the ground
Don't leave me here
I need you around
