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.

Broken and hollow, a former self of the man I once was

No hope, no love, only fear and regret

Still searching for a God that I know don't exist

How are you? I'm fine

Don't worry yourself, you don't have the time

So move on, leave me behind

While I'm looking for a reason to live my life

So I'll scream and I'll shout

Until my lungs give out, I'm not running, no, no

I've been conflicted and scared

But was never prepared to make the choices that I made

I won't go and give myself away like this

I've been here before

I don't need you

I can't hide behind this mask anymore

This loneliness is overwhelming me

I tried to close my eyes, but I can't sleep

From disassociating two hearts

That once oh they beat together

One was mine

But both were yours

And one laying abandoned on the floor

But I'm hopeful

I won't go and give myself away like this

I've been here before

I don't need you

I can't hide behind this mask anymore

These friends now I lack

Their knives in my back

Couldn't take it anymore

These friends now I lack

Oh, their knives in my back

Wish I stabbed them in yours

But in the end, we're human

Yeah I've made my mistakes

But how can you say your conscience is so clear?

I've been chasing affection from a fear of being alone

But it's your attention that I feel I'm owed

Cause I'm empty inside trying to fill the void in my heart

Over and over

The cycle doesn't break

The cycle doesn't break

And I know that you've been there too

It reverberates

Leaving you to feel so insignificant

It was in my demise

That led me to do the things that I have done

It's nothing personal

And it haunts me to this day

Do you think I'm proud of myself?

Do you think I'm the man I want to be? I'm

Screaming don't hurt me but I'm the one hurting myself

I won't go and give myself away like this

I don't need you

I can't hide behind this mask anymore

I won't go and give myself away like this

I've been here before

I don't need you

I can't hide behind this mask anymore

These friends now I lack

And their knives in my back

I won't go and give myself away like this
