lyrics

I confine myself in this apathy
Nobody can see
What spreads in me
These wounds won’t bleed
These wounds won’t bleed

Diving head first into emptiness
For reasons unclear I’m choking under stress

These wounds won’t bleed
They won’t turn to scars
No matter my achievements
I still see too far

No rest for me

(Instrumental)

It’s hard to imagine how much more of this I can take

Too out of sight to show what i’ve seen

This body’s a husk
With no sense of wrong
In search of this joy
That’s been gone for so long

Time flashes by
and the weeks spreed thin
so does my values
and so does my skin

What’s left of my morals are easily bruised
Refilled with life that’s already used

As pieces of glass was once
Once but sand
Please
Just return me to dust when I
I still stand

But am I so wrong
To blind the ones, I love

Enslaved by a futile dream
Life is so much more worthless than it, might, seem

These wounds won’t bleed

I’ll take this too far

Peel off these gloves
See how life has painted my hands
Pull me from this shell
Let whatever is left of me breathe

So I clinch these stained fists
Fall on my kness
I see the clouds travel the sky
And with this faint view
I beg to the grey
That the rain won’t wash this away

Don’t wash this away
Don’t wash this away
