Lyric

Squinting hard at the glittering lies they tell

Chewing up reality, this living hell

My heart is thick and heavy, black with gore

On the verge of bursting through the night’s rot-filled floor

Crouched in the corner, hiding from the light

I didn't want a single soul to touch my plight

Dreamt of growing wings, just to fly away

But choked in polluted lungs, turning into gray

"Don't cast me out," the words I couldn't say

In the blacked-out noise of a night that won't fade away

Repeating the cycle, over and over, no sense in the thrill

At the end of the world, I’m the name on no one’s bill

Couldn't even leave a trace, a ghost in the drive

But god, I just wanted to be alive

Fragmented goodbyes, written in the dark

With a pus-filled heart, waiting for a spark

Replaying the trauma, a carousel in my head

Eaten alive by the bruise-purple night instead

Blood on the edge, about to explode

Stabbed by the wind on this jagged road

Even the diamond joys and the crystal pain

Are torn into pieces, washed down the drain

Freedom is a monster, terrifying and cold

A simple death scattered, stories untold

Even if I burst, I’m still standing here

The only thing that won’t break is this lingering fear

"Don't cast me out," the words I couldn't say

In the blacked-out noise of a night that won't fade away

Living through the days, each one a special scar

Bursting into pieces, but I’ve made it this far

Still I wanted, still I wanted, still I wanted

I wanted to stay alive

I just wanted to live

Inside the rot

Still here
