All alone now
I can feel the walls start to cave on me now
And I have no place left to go
I feel the walls behind me
They're closing in around me
I feel the weight within me
Crushing my bones inside me
I can't rely on faith this time
You have failed me
You have let me down
I won't tell myself that I am fine
Its like I'm falling away from everything I know
Is this whats left of me?
Holding on to something that was never real
Will you be there to catch me?
Cause' I'm drowning; I'm fading
I'm losing grip on reality
Reaching out for someone to save me
Suffocating under the pressure
I'm dying for one last chance
Just one more breath!
My memories are useless
No matter how hard I try
I will never be free from this torture
I will never feel alive again
My memories are toxic
My memories kill me
Its like I'm falling away from everything I know
Is this whats left of me?
Holding on to something that was never real
Will you be there to catch me?
Cause' I'm drowning; I'm fading
I'm losing grip on reality
Reaching out for someone to save me (save me)
As my eyes roll back in my skull
The life leaves my body
System failure!
As my eyes roll back in my skull
The life leaves my body
System failure!
Where were you when I needed you?
I'm afraid its too late
So, say your last goodbye
