Lyrics
XIII
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You could live if you’re willing to
But you can’t put a stop to what’s killing you
Be reminded every day how much you hate it
Can’t live without it,
But can’t seem to fake it
Slipping through the cracks
It’s the loneliest of hell’s
From that it’s hard to come back
You piece yourself together, but can’t live with the cracks
Staring through the mirror at the reflection
Tell me what you see
Staring through the mirror at the reflection
Tell me what you see
I’m in a waking nightmare of my own design
Can’t stay this way forever
Have I lost my mind?
This might be why
Why I, I can’t sleep at night
So, please try help me find a reason to get by
Conscience disappears in time
Fight violence with violence
Ignorance won’t break this pattern
Hate, hate, hate, hate
You can’t stitch over broken shards
New scars cover where the old ones are
Discard the part that made your heart turn to darkness
Tear apart all the pieces of the heartless
Break the chains of your own mentality
Alleviate the pain of immortality
It’s time to take and mold your own reality
Or rot with the rest in the pain of actuality
Staring through the mirror at the reflection
Tell me what you see
Staring through the mirror at the reflection
Tell me what you see
I’m in a waking nightmare of my own design
Can’t stay this way forever
Have I lost my mind?
This might be why,
Why I, I can’t sleep at night
So, please try help me find a reason to get by
By fight violence with violence
Hate, hate, hate, hate
You can live if you’re willing to
Just put a stop to what’s killing you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You can live if you’re willing to
Just put a stop to what’s killing you
Hate, hate, hate, hate
You can live if you’re willing to
Just put a stop to what’s killing you
Staring through the mirror
Tell me what you see
It’s what you’ve always wanted
Is it how it was supposed to be?
I’m in a waking nightmare of my own design
Trapped in this dream forever
I think I’ve lost my mind
