Lyrics

You get used to the quiet
Your eyes adjust to the black
When you stay for too long
When you mute every song
It gets harder every time to come back
My soul has been neglected
And it shows in gruesome ways
I'm an addict for pain
The misfortune remains
And there's part of me that won't let it change
The poison in my mind
Like a virus that continues to spread
If I don't start to fight
Then I might as well do myself in
It's been
Old ways
And bad days with the same dread
I'm sick of this routine
I'm done playing dead
I'll hit back
Swing fast
And aim for the head
Look for the color in the day
Enter a phosphorescent state
Cause it's been
Bad days
But I'm not giving up
Woah
We've locked every door
And someone has to bleed
I'm stuck in here with you
You're stuck in here with me
At war with myself
And I'll die before I
Let this win
Depression, self-loathing, mistreating my friends
I'm raging against
The death of the light
I will not go gentle it's not a good night
I have never felt like I was good enough
I just want to be someone that I can love
