lyrics

I ain't gonna push you through the pain
I can't be a crutch, or play your mental games
I'd dump my heart into easing your mind
to adding some colour to what you see as black and white

it ain't hard to see that I'm shouting at deaf ears
that you're far too busy hiding behind all your fears
a knife by another name would still cut just as deep
and those words have edges that are slicing into me

pre:
and I can't try anymore
for something that gives nothing back
do I deserve something better?
do I deserve something more?

chorus:
turn me left and I'll turn right
don't think of me as I fade away from your life
cause I need my soul to leave yours behind
I hope you get it, I hope someday you feel alright

whats a friend to the world but someone who kills the pain
as you drown yourself, and wash away what keeps you sane
you can call me shallow, or heartless, or just plain old fucked up
but I'll seep into your dreams, I'll creep out from under the rug

what you've given light, its made of the worst of us
the end of the barrel; its the filth that rots the bottom out
I won't sit and watch as you waste yourself away
I won't sit in silence and feed you lies to kill the pain

(pre)
(chorus)
