lyrics

Despondency set in two years ago,
Despair was the only route I could go.
All I've seen is suffering,
It felt like I lost a part of me.
Hate has taken control of my veins,
And I won't take the weight of the reins.
Hate has taken control of my veins,
And I won't take the weight of the reins.
Hate has taken control of my veins,
And I won't take the weight of the reins.
Abandon this sinking ship I call my life,
I've chosen to take this knife from my back.
You've made me who I am today,
I hope you're happy.
I realize that I can never move mountains,
I realize that my life may never amount to anything.
The ground moves beneath my feet,
But I stand still,
I am but a human,
I can't shape the land with my words.
But I've done everything I can for this world,
And I'm praying to a God that I don't even believe in.
That this dejection may pass with time,
That your heart may come back to me in time.
Save my hollow soul,
Guide me back home.
Save my hollow soul,
Guide me back home.
