Lyrics

Dresden

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.

Set the dials to overload,

My head is ready to explode.

I can't breathe the air you leave,

Abandoned into your fantasy.

Tore the children far away,

Burned the house where they once played.

This terrifying wall of pain

Is pouring down upon me once again.

Silence screaming louder still,

Torches burning will not kill.

Burn the soul down to the core,

Kick the ashes to the floor.

Everything I tried to say,

Everything I tried to do.

Everything you begged of me,

Nothing was ever enough for you.

Now you know it hurts to be in love,

Praying that your heart was made of stone.

Trapped inside a head but not a home,

Tearing all the flesh away from bone.

I can't live,

I can't live with you and I can't live,

I can't live without you,

I can't live,

I can't live with you and I can't live without you now.

I can't live,

I can't live with you and I can't live,

I can't live without you,

I can't live,

I can't live with you and I can't live without you now.
