Now could it be that I no longer see
All the things that you had done for me
I was your true believer
You were my preferred company
Your words were a spell, your words gave hell
A fever dream that I reaped
You knocked me down, then left this town
And now you linger above me
But why do I lie?
And say to myself it's alright
My hands are tied, well that's the crime
The fear is making me die
So, cut me deep, like a knife
Make me bleed, make me fight
I've gone so numb, I'm lost inside
I want to feel like I'm alive
So, cut me deep, like a knife
Make me bleed, till I feel right
I've gone so numb, I'm dead inside
I want to feel like I'm alive
But why do I feel so strongly
About this thing that destroys me
You were my lone receiver
But now I lay in apathy
Your words were a spell, your words gave me hell
A fever dream that I reaped
You knocked me down, then left this town
And now you're somewhere above me
But why do I cry?
And stay in comfort and never try
Say I'm too tired, the coward's lie
While each little piece of me dies
Melancholy why do you shake my bones
Reminding me why I am all alone?
I was fighting wars and not knowing the cost
Now I realize all that I have lost
Now these darkened streets are all I call my own
I'm just a lonely ghost in a burned down home
And I have this fear that I'm too far gone
And all from what cost?
Melancholy why do you shake my bones
Reminding me why I am all alone?
I was fighting wars and not knowing the cost
Now I realize all that I have lost
To feel like I'm alive
To feel again
