The Pain You Desire, The Love You Deserve

You'd trade yourself for someone else if you could

The thought of being yourself harbours bad health

It's your deepest wound

Dying safely in your room

Dreaming of a brighter place

The darkness inside of your tomb

You seem not to laugh so much these days

I guess the only way to see that change

Was to pick up a bottle

And drink to the bottom

Until you're just an empty space

Could you try to force a smile?

Sip a little confidence

Make yourself irrelevant

Just erasing time (erasing time)

Because it's all too much

It never stops

Are you afraid to die?

Lying alone inside this soberness you woe

Have you cried so many times?

You pray you never make it home

Because you are alone

You cry so much these days

Get your head out of that nonsense

Give yourself a little time to heal

Before you cave

Because it's all too much

It never stops

Sold on descending

As far as you can

You've laid awake contemplating where you could end

Are you afraid to die?

Lying alone inside this soberness you woe

Have you cried so many times?

You pray you never make it home

Because you are alone

But there's something that's left inside

That just won't seem to come out

Unless you're drunk or high

Fleeting the solace of what you desire

Of what you deserve

Drained of joy, your childhood held

Your demons were the only thing to catch you when you fell

It takes time to fix yourself

But time has only brought you closer to hell

Is your happiness confined to your escape?

Do you feel like you deserve your pain?

Could you grow to love and feel again?

After growing in the emptiness
