I watched the world burn I watched it all melt away I saw what was underneath the skin And there was nothing for me Collapse Face in the dirt I know this will Be the last thing you do You will Regret The things you said You know that this is Where they would lead I watched the world burn I watched it all melt away I saw what was underneath the skin And there was nothing for me Walking Moving To a better place I will not fuel your flames Burning Away What I am I will not be a shell Today I watched the world burn I watched it all melt away I saw what was underneath the skin And there was nothing for me I watched the world burn I watched it all melt away I saw what was underneath the skin And there was nothing for me

There was a time when I was whole There was a time when I could feel Anything There was a time when I was happy There was a time before you happened To me You are the only one I can blame You are the one who made me who I am today You are the only one I can blame You took away everything From me I don't remember who I was before Everything changed when I met you The pieces fell away Leaving a shell Of what was You are the only one I can blame You are the one who made me who I am today You are the only one I can blame You took away everything From me You are the only one I can blame You are the one who made me who I am today You are the only one I can blame You took away everything From me

I can feel you inside of me Un-stoic and unforgiving You show who I was So angry and detached You are a poison Coursing through me Turning me against myself You are a poison So I tore you from my mind I will not regret my past I can feel you inside of me Destructive and ruinous You showed me who I am And you tried to tear it away You are a poison Coursing through me Turning me against myself You are a poison So I tore you from my mind I will not regret my past

You're all talk but that's the problem You never say anything All it takes is one step but you don't move You see her She sees you And you know what to do But you keep freezing All you get is once night to make this what you want it to be There is no time for second guessing yourself All you get is once night to make this what you want it to be There will be no second chances You're all talk but that's the problem You never take the chance What's the worst that could happen Rejection You've been the before And it hurts less than you think Regret is all that comes from inaction All you get is once night to make this what you want it to be There is no time for second guessing yourself All you get is once night to make this what you want it to be There will be no second chances All you get is once night to make this what you want it to be There is no time for second guessing yourself All you get is once night to make this what you want it to be There's no room for second chances

Escape 04:07
I stare at the sky And I can't imagine What my place is There's no room For self-hatred Self-pity What is one more Attempt at gratification One more chance to fail I am so trapped By my self I can't escape my own Loathing I cannot run Anymore I cannot hide from myself Anymore I have to change my mind I have to change my Life I have to change my life I have to change my Life
