Lyrics

I'm a lost cause, maybe I should find God
Maybe I should get even, but it goes against the odds
I used to want to die, everything I feel inside
What they say, look alive?
At least I try to, outside
Thought the reason was me, but the reason ain't me
No real reason why I gave this reason my peace
I'm never feeling low, that's 'cause I'm always getting high
'Cept there always comes a time when I ask myself why
But you ain't getting fucked up unless you're deeply fucked up
Seems my reason ain't enough, seems that down leads to up
I don't know, here I go, each new pain gives me hope
But the pain in that hope takes me places unknown
Oh, I leapt from the page and became just a stain
But when I go away, well, it could go either way
They love me, then hate me, but it feels the same
I hate that I love what will soon drift away
'Cause I see myself fall but I'm growing too tall
To lend me down a hand, breaking down the same walls
I know better, my tether is wearing too thin
Breaks in half like the half that I lost as a kid
Don't forget, but forgive
For yourself, for that kid
He was a real victim, leave him out of it
I was in love with my death, it was better than sex
Slipping close to the edge, might go over instead
But why should I kill what has proved it won't die?
By the time I will fly, I won't leave me behind
Sure, it's chaos, my mind, but with chaos, I find
If I change it inside, it look different outside
I'm tired, I'm stressed, did you hear I'm depressed?
'Cause in my manic times, I only spoke with my chest
The regret's in the safe, why don't you look away?
'Cause when it opens up, everything on display
'Cause even when I win, you find bad things to say
And it's only my sins that they throw in my face
I've been loved, I've been hated
Been scorned and I've waited
For someone who hates that they love my creation
'Cause it takes up the time, only yours, never mine
The train ain't slowing down, come aboard when there's time
I don't need anyone, all I need is myself
'Cause when people know me, well, I get overwhelmed
Oh, the stories I tell, never boring, but Hell
If my pain was an item, I'd list it for sale
Used to think my disease was all that I will be
But just because it's me, it don't mean that it's me
They say when we're deceased, that we will rest in peace
I sure hope that is true or else God is a tease
Turns out I'm in control, but I'm also controlled
By the vices I give up control to feel whole
The pages run full 'til the ink ain't no more
We ain't the same kids that we once were before
I ain't the same guy that opened up my door
I get high and get high until lunch ain't no more
I give love and give love but hate sure is a whore
I hate you, you hate me, but I'll see you at four
