In the silence of a cold dead stare
In a world of my own
In a world where I can’t stand anyone go on and leave me alone
I see your shadows in the hallway
Sitting and waiting for you all to raid my home
I need a minute to breathe
I need a minute to think
I need something my own
Rip away my skin
(Want you to watch me unwind)
Claw down to what’s within
(Dry as bone and cold inside)
Tear away the layers of pretense and lose all sense of kin
You better shut your fucking mouth now
Don’t even know what you’re talking about
Too many of you to stand any chance of fighting so I guess I’ll walk out
Almost everything I clung to ripped away
This was never my place
I won’t explain a thing to you and I’ll never look at you the same
Stuck just floundering without a clue
I defined myself in relation to you
I never would’ve thought that we would sever this way
but there’s a cold strange look on your once-familiar face
and the cycle continues I boil with rage,
but isn’t that my choice?
You don’t know what you’re saying
time to stop repeating festered hatred and pain
I gotta let you all go and drop everything keeping me sane
Resentment’s empty and contemptful words would make it all stick
I’d be no better and this anger’s made me nothing but sick
I can’t just sit here seething letting this hate rip my heart out
The only thing I have is now
And I’m too unwound
