Wither Blister Burn & Peel

I'm tangled and broken
left scattered on the floor
it's useless now
these pieces they
can never make make me whole

you wither
and you blister
I watch you burn and peel
it's not like you
can save me
it's not like you even care

I'm finding it so hard to hold on

this is where it falls apart
this is where it falls apart
I feel helpless as my everything
comes crashing down on me
this is where it falls apart
this is where it falls apart
I feel helpless as my fucking world
comes crashing down
crashing down on me

wasted
useless
pointless
scattered
broken
pointless
wrinkled
shattered
withered
blistered
?
pointless
wasted
useless
scattered
?

wasted thoughts of you
desperate prayers to you
give me back my mind
I'm empty inside

what have I become?
everything's undone
a candle burns here in your honor
my soul, a shrine i've built for you
there's nothing left inside me
nothing left inside but you

can't seem to pretend
this night needs to end
I can't fill this hole
you are all i know

it's so wrong that I need you
it's so wrong that I need abuse
it's so wrong that I need you
so wrong that I'm scared I'll die alone

I am not here
I think I've never
been here at all
or ever will
I feel like a place
where no one goes anymore

why can't you see that everything's broken?
and why can't you see that my life's turned gray?
I can't believe in anything sacred
when I don't believe that I am real

it seems so bizarre
but none of this matters
thoughts disappear and hopes have died
but now i am safe, nothing can hurt me here

why can't you see my need for forgiveness
the truth and the lies so confused as one
I can't believe in anything sacred
when I don't believe in anything

I am alone
locked in my memories
there's nowhere left for me to hide
but I am not real
I've made all I am with lies
why does it seem that everything's different?
and why does it seems that only you are real?
I don't believe in anything sacred
so why do I feel so damned alone?

(chorus)

I need someone to break the silence
screaming in my head
and in my soul

I feel your lips
I taste your skin
I need to know
I need to feel you from within
as your blood burns through my skin
I feel complete
I breathe you in
it's where you end and I begin
if only I could stay here... forever
so much to tell you
so much to show you
so much to confide
now that I'm inside you

we are flesh
we are one
so why do I
feel so much guilt for what I've done?
as your blood burns through my skin
I feel release
I breathe you in
it's where you end and I begin
if only I could stay here... forever
so much to tell you
so much to give you
so much to confide
now that I'm inside you

so much to teach me
so much to show me
so much to give me
so much to tell me

I'm feeling the weight of the world
and it's crushing me
I'm feeling the weight of everyday life
and it's crushing me

how much more will it take
how much more until it breaks me
this world is crushing me

I'm feeling the hate of the world
and it's crushing me
I'm feeling the hate of everyday life
and it's crushing me

I've spent every moment since the day you left
attempting to regain the shattered remains of my pathetic life
working to be someone you can be proud of
someone you can love again

I have given you everything that I have to give
everything i'm able to give
taking into consideration your reluctance to accept anything I have to offer

I'm tired of living my life for you
I'm tired of living for everyone else in this world
I'm tired of...?

I swallow the hate, betrayal and lies
swallow it whole, shove it deep down inside of me
feeling the weight of the world, and it's crushing me

how much more will it take?
how much more until it breaks me?
this world is crushing me
