Lyrics

[Chorus]
A desperate
Plea just to be
Heard in this solitary life
Let myself get
In the way, it's
Like shooting yourself in the foot
So many
Missed opportunities
Had I just been more
Conscious of the
Place and time when
These had gone by
Formulating
Made up scenarios
To help time pass, an
Easy way to
Maybe feel less alone in this
Empty world
[Verse 1]
It follows me
Not far behind
Feeding off insecurities
Dictating
Every word I've said
My tongue and voice are not my own
Degraded
Serrated
Notched on the inside
I'll never be
That which I hoped
Abandon plans on life
[Verse 2]
There's something more
Stemming from the core
Beneath it all
The darkness takes its toll
[Verse 3]
Inner battles
At war with oneself
Costing so much
More than you might tell
[Verse 4]
Possession of one's own thoughts
When used against them
Are sure to bring out the worst
And likely to bend
[Verse 5]
Warped perceptions
Clouded by the truth
Unfactual in nature
But realer than you'd presume
[Bridge]
Humiliating
I can't get out of my way
Just ignore us
And please forgive what I say
[Chorus]
A desperate
Plea just to be
Heard in this solitary life
Let myself get
In the way, it's
Like shooting yourself in the foot
Formulating
Made up scenarios
To help time pass, an
Easy way to
Maybe feel less alone this
Empty world
[Bridge]
Something's wrong, yes, this I know
But I can't shake this
A loaded gun behind your back
And I'm still waiting
For you to show me your fucking teeth
So I can prove I'm sane
[Bridge]
I provoke me
[Verse 6]
Wish I wasn't
Such a disappointment
But my shadow
Looms over
Complicates things
Can't appreciate things
Only seems to bring things
To a new low
[Outro]
Listen to me, this all will pass
The rain will end, this pain will come to pass
Listen to me, this all will pass
The rain will end, this pain will come to pass
