lyrics

I hear them talking
The voices in my head
They're filling it with messages
And leaving me left for dead
They won't carry up my bones
And save me from myself
Oh god, please help me now.
Departed from seeing my own hollow eyes
Open up this empty mind
Over shadowed by a dark storm
I swam for miles
To try; to try to see the daylight

You can't take the sky from me

You can't take the sky from me
This is the only air that I breathe

You are the ocean
Pulling out the sea
I am a sunken ship
You drifting over me
You're taunting me with daylight
And I'm dancing with the waves
You separated me because
I'm only half the man that you thought I was.
May the distance between
Who I am and who I want to be
Inspire me
To become the man we intended
I may be fixed but I'm still not mended

If you can be a bird
And fly away at ease
Then I am the fucking wind
Carrying your wings
I am the shadow that stalks your footsteps
I am the quiver in your knees
I'm the hollowness in your stomach
I'm the truth that no one see's

And maybe I am better off all on my own
Broken homes and idle bones
I thought this town would warm up without you
Cast away, it's all that I can do
The blood is running on your bathroom floor
The answer to your own actions
There's nothing I can do
Begging's pointless

I've given up on you
