Nothing
I just keep falling through
Cracks that tears pour through
And I can't remember how to be
Cause it's your face I can't stand to see
Trapped in my thoughts
Hopeless
Just Fighting to Breathe
No one can save me
There's nothing to do
There's no where to hide
Just hope that you don't kill you
No one says a word when I confide
My house is a stranger to me
No one to talk to
Nothing to do
Just cry until I die
Cause there's nothing left to try
You want the ultimate seal of the deal
For it to be over
And that I understand
You wanted to be a better man
You're ashamed of your life
You feel like you've failed me
But please let go of the knife
It's the longest night
Nothing's right
Nothing to do
My hand's gone cold
I'm numb with fright
Please don't you ever touch that knife
My soul is poisoned
It rots out of my eyes
Pain I can't disguise
Trapped in the suffering of my mind
I try to push my hurt aside
Avoiding you, it's all I can do
I'm sorry
I really do care
Can't bear to face you
Dad, it's your secret
I try to pretend I don't know
