The Dead Skin

It's me I hate, not you at all

I am my own medicine

Turned into a poison

I think I gave you a lot

And not enough, I know

Tortured myself, same as you

Without losing my sanity

Where's my applause?

I see no reason to live in Hell

How can life make me feel so incomplete?

I had a weakness and my walls came down

My tears won't reach the ground

Burn my new wound

I know I cannot feel regret for anything

If I was numb, I'd end this once and for all

But I feel the wound, still

I cannot face this day, my guards are down

I cannot love myself, weak, sad clown

I see myself, my fading color

I see no hope there where I always used to

I fear your words, the things they mirror

Maybe that is all I am, just a reflection, please help me

I see no reason to live in hell

When you smile, you make me feel incomplete

But it's all ending, the clock's rewinding

We don't mean anything to me, you think?

I killed this silence for us to make things right

The words are loaded

Once connected

One torso, one head

One solid reason, the pain

If love's the neck, kept us together, and apart

Now it's broken

There is no cast, no real salvation

When it is broken, it will stay that way

Believe me when I say this

I would not if I did not care

Tears don't mean anything

If we don't know when we're sorry

No one will win today

We can't play this game this way

We cannot soar and still stay on the ground

Don't wanna see me, hear me, hate me

Hate, hate, hate

Jealousy's a phantom

Something that was never, ever meant to find me

But now its pale green eyes have destroyed everything

You know how it must hurt, and I know

There is nothing you've done to deserve this

Apology's apolicy

Sometimes It really has to be, it's kept me afloat thus far

This sho nuf's one nice

Loose noose, perfect times

Are we happy in this hell?

Is there someone who can measure

Whose pain is bigger?

It all has ended, the clock's rewinded

We don't mean anything to me, you think?

I killed this silence for you to end the night

The words are loaded, the wounds are open

Unprotected, one torso, no head

One valid reason, the life's suspended

If love's the neck that kept us together, and apart

Now it's broken

There is no cast, no real solution

When it is broken, it will stay that way

Believe me when I say this

I would not if I did not care

Who needs who, when and what the hell for?

Who wants to suffer and be hardcore?

And who's strong enough to peel off the dead skin

I cannot face this day, my guards are down
