Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got no scars cut on my skin
Only my truth is wearing thin and it hollows me
It hollows me
I hate the darkness of my past
The cold rebelling, it drives me mad and it follows me
It's carving the heart out of me
[PreChorus]
I've got to bleed it out
All my thoughts intoxicated
'Cause the weight on me, it buries me alive
It pulls me down right into the darkness
It pulls me down and I can't resist
[Chorus]
Let me feel it 'cause I don't know, I can't see
All I feel is I'm breaking up
Oh, can't you see it's taking over, over me
Can't you see?
Yeah, you want me to fight it, and you want me to let go
Yeah, you tell me to fight it, and you damn me if I don't
So, let me bleed it out and purge me
I can't see
No, I can't see
No, I can't see
[Bridge]
'Cause I feel I'm breaking
I can't see (No-no-no, no-no-no, no-no-no)
I can't see (No-no-no, no-no-no, I can't see)
[Verse 2]
My defiance made me strong
But now I'm doubting what I have done and it's killing me
It's killing me
I hate to see what I've become
I find no peace, no justice done
This gravity
it's carving the heart out of me
[PreChorus]
I've got to bleed it out
All my thoughts intoxicated
'Cause the weight on me, it buries me alive
It pulls me down, right into the darkness
It pulls me down and I can't resist
[Chorus]
Let me feel it cause I don't know, I can't see
All I feel is I'm breaking up
Oh, can't you see it's taking over, over me
Can't you see?
Yeah, you want me to fight it, and you want me to let go
Yeah, you tell me to fight it, and you damn me if I don't
So let me bleed it out and purge me
I can't see
No, I can't see
No, I can't see
[Bridge]
Let it bleed it out and purge me
Let it bleed it out and purge me
'Cause I can't see
Let it bleed it out and purge me
Let it bleed it out and purge me
'Cause I can't see
[Outro]
Let me feel it 'cause I don't know
I can't see
No, I can't see
No, I can't see
