Lyrics

Defeated

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.

Here I am, staring at the walls again

Another useless night, just waiting for the fucking end

I'm tired of living like a ghost

Always searching for the light

They say that it eases with time

But this sinking feeling will always be mine

Will always be mine

Tear my heart out

I'll never be the same

I can feel my world crashing down

And I only have myself to blame

I'm a letdown, I'm a failure

And it's bleeding me dry

I can feel my world crashing down

And I only have myself to blame

When I hit rock bottom

It won't seem so wrong (Won't seem so wrong)

After everything I've been through, it won't be too long

I'll bury my bones in the deepest of sand

I'll begin to scatter my ashes with my very own hand

When the weight of the world crashes down on me

Hatred courses through my veins

All the self-doubt that I have inside, it still remains

When it's all said and done

I am nothing

Tear my heart out

I'll never be the same

I can feel my world crashing down

And I only have myself to blame

I'm a letdown, I'm a failure

And it's bleeding me dry

I can feel my world crashing down

And I only have myself to blame

A question that always stays

What's the point of being positive?

I'm a mess and there's nothing else I can give

Free me from this life

All this pain still lingers

Like the twist from a knife (twist from a knife)

All this pain still lingers

Like the twist from a knife

All this pain still lingers

Like the twist from a knife (twist from a knife)

All this pain still lingers

Like the twist from a knife
