You say I should be more poetic

I know that I sound pathetic

You speak in words so prophetic and yet you can’t tell the devil from angelic?

Say I should be more sympathetic

Well maybe then they just don’t get it

Well maybe then they they don’t hear voices that whisper in tongues and tell me where I’m headed

Tear me down

I burnt through your skin, I tried to get in, but I'm giving up now

Tear me down

It's not your fault, treading water alone, and you better watch out now

You’re bleeding till your bones show through

Used every sorry excuse

My demons, they were always you

Had me up against the wall, you know that I never fall

Useless

You, you useless

Useless to me

How you like me now? Six feet underground?

Screaming till my lungs smoke, not like they could hear me if I could ever get out

How you like me now? Did you enjoy watching me drown?

Did you like the part where I called for help, people were staring, no one made a sound

Tear me down

I burnt through your skin, I tried to get in, but I'm giving up now

Tear me down

It's not your fault, treading water alone, and you better watch out now

You’re bleeding till your bones show through

Used every sorry excuse

My demons, they were always you

Had me up against the wall, you know that I never fall

Useless

You, you useless

Useless to me
