Lyrics

[Verse 1]
SO IMPRESSED WITH ALL YOU DO
TRIED SO HARD TO BE LIKE YOU
FLEW TOO HIGH AND BURNT THE WING
LOST MY FAITH IN EVERYTHING
[Verse 2]
LICK AROUND DIVINE DEBRIS
TASTE THE WEALTH OF HATE IN ME
SHEDDING SKIN SUCCUMB DEFEAT
THIS MACHINE IS OBSOLETE
[Verse 3]
MADE THE CHOICE TO GO AWAY
DRINK THE FOUNTAIN OF DECAY
TEAR A HOLE EXQUISITE RED
FUCK THE REST AND STAB IT DEAD
[Verse 4]
BROKEN BRUISED FORGOTTEN SORE
TOO FUCKED UP TO CARE ANYMORE
POISONED TO MY ROTTEN CORE
too fucked up to care anymore
[Verse 5]
BROKEN & BRUISED FORGOTTEN SORE
TOO FUCKED UP TO CARE ANYMORE
POISONED TO MY ROTTEN CORE
too fucked up to care anymore
[Verse 6]
IN THE BACK OFF THE SIDE FAR AWAY IS A PLACE WHERE I HIDE WHERE I STAY
TRIED TO SAY TRIED TO ASK I NEEDED TO ALL ALONE BY MYSELF WHERE WERE YOU?
HOW COULD I EVER THINK IT'S FUNNY HOW everything that swore it wouldn't change is different now
JUST LIKE YOU WOULD ALWAYS SAY WE'LL MAKE IT THROUGH THEN MY HEAD FELL APART AND WHERE WERE YOU?
[Verse 7]
HOW COULD I EVER THINK IT'S FUNNY HOW EVERYTHING YOU SWORE WOULD NEVER CHANGE IS DIFFERENT NOW
LIKE YOU SAID YOU AND ME MAKE IT THROUGH DIDN'T QUITE FELL APART WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU?
