Perfect little dream the kind that hurts the most

forgot how it feels well almost

no one to blame always the same

open my eyes wake up in flames

it took you to make me realize

it took you to make me realize

it took you to make me realize

it took you to make me see the light

smashed up my sanity

smashed up my integrity

smashed up what i believed in

smashed up what's left of me

smashed up my everything

smashed up all that was true

gonna smash myself to pieces

i don't know what else to do

covered in hope and vaseline

still cannot fix this broken machine

watching the hole it used to be mine

just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline

of the trust i will betray

give it to me i throw it away

after everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become

smashed up my sanity

smashed up my integrity

smashed up what i believed in

smashed up what's left of me

smashed up my everything

smashed up all that was true

gonna smash myself to pieces

i don't know what else to do

i tried

i gave up

throw it away
