A cynic, I’m broken, I’m shattered,

There’s nothing left inside of me.

I’m drowning, I’m restless, I’m scattered,

But I can never breathe.

Your lies still echo in the silence,

You knew the words that could tear me apart.

Addiction pulls me into violence,

Self-destruction grips my heart.

I’m crawling on the floor,

(Take deep breaths, my soul is fading.)

I’m clawing at the door,

Oh God, can someone save me?

Now I have to find a way out,

I have to find my voice.

I’m haunted by the ghosts of everything I need.

When I’m completely numb, the darkness takes me.

I turn into someone I hate completely.

It’s me against the pain,

(Take cover, it’s overtaking.)

Your memory’s in my veins,

The weight is suffocating.

I’ve fought so hard to push you away,

But every step feels like I’m still afraid.

The high is fleeting, the lows remain,

But I won’t let you drag me to the grave.

Now I have to find a way out,

I have to find my voice.

I’m haunted by the ghosts of everything I need.

When I’m completely numb, the darkness takes me.

I turn into someone I hate completely.

I’ve given up, I’m losing hope,

Second-guessing everything I’ve known.

My mind’s a battlefield alone,

But I’m fighting now to let you go.

Self-medicated, still you burn in my veins,

But I’m clawing my way out of this chain.

Now I have to find a way out,

I have to find my voice.

I’m haunted by the ghosts of everything I need.

When I’m completely numb, the darkness takes me.

I turn into someone I hate completely.

Now I have to find a way back,

I have to make a choice.

I’m holding to the hope that I can finally breathe.

I’ll never lose sight of what’s in front of me.
