lyrics

I can tell you feel it deep inside your heart
That suffocating feeling that makes us fall apart
Reaching out for that false hope that life throws in our way
I wish I can assure you that we`ll make it home one day

Cold as winter's snow
From here to the unknown
This hell that we share
Blinds my way cuts deep inside me

It's bedded deep within
Grows stronger from our sins
Blackening my soul
Letting loose my wildest demon

Chorus

I feel this void around you it
pierces me so deep inside my soul
Can't fight this feeling so I hide
myself until I lose control
From way beyond it tries to end me
I can see it get darker every day
If you've never been there you won't believe me
I know that deep inside you feel the same
(we share the same)
(you share my pain)

We beg for those distractions that make us feel less pain
Overload our butchered hearts with regret and shame
Feeling safe in darkness we steer clear from the light
Anything to help us thru this long cold lonely night

Numb we lay to rest
cast aside our mess
A short lived granted peace
If only it could last forever

Face the day with fear
The Demons drawing near
Strapped down for the ride
Terrified of where it takes me

Repeat chorus

In case you care to wonder
The various paths to go
Once you lived your life this way it's the only way you know
I know that you point your finger
Say I'm the one to blame
And I don't deny that sometimes I feel more myself this way

But none of you know how hard I try even when my days go fucking darker
And that's the only reason that I'm still here
Or else I would be six feet under

And I see the sadness in your eyes and I can tell that
you dread tomorrow
So if there ain't no fucking love for us in this world why don't we
share each other's sorrow

Repeat chorus.
