i still have hate in my heart
but love runs through my veins
breathing new life and letting go
of all the things that i can't change
places i'll never go
people i'll never see again
by letting go of your ghost
i'll learn to face the man i've been
i'm so disconnected from the world that's around me
i've given up hope that one day i'll escape my fate
i've accepted that i can't erase my mistakes
and now i see
the bastard i've become
and the man i need to be
numb and misguided, i embrace my sins
and i'll let the guilt sink through my skin
it brings me peace
i'll wash away the broken memories
take hold of all i've lost from my selfish ways
i'm hollow, but i'm whole
and i have so much left to give
but i'm terrified i'll die before i finally get the chance to live
i'm not ready to leave
i've yet to walk the path that i've paved
living with the fear of all the scars that i'll save
i will never fade
my perspective will change
but my vision remains the same
to be a better man than the one that you all left to fucking rot
tear me apart
break me down until i have nothing left to lose
you can take it all away from me
because you live to see me fail
leave me for dead in this life i've wasted
haunted by the judging eyes from unfamiliar faces
maybe i'll never change
an empty soul behind an empty gaze
every color i see will turn the same shade of grey
a mindless slave to fate
i'll only be remembered by my mistakes
so you can hand me the blame
you can write me off and forget my name
i'll regress to the empty days from which i came
