I've let you take me for granted
Digging knives in my back
While the blindfold that you placed
Upon my eyes stayed strapped
You put me in this rut
Closed my casket shut
And my ignorance to all of it
Led me to self destruct
Why can't we all be safe
From all of those just here to take?
While I've said my piece
It never gives me peace
Because I relive every moment of those days
Always
Why can't I cope with anything
Without damaging myself?
Denying almost all advice
And don't think twice
'Cause there's something in the water
And I fear I'm sinking in
My previous self is haunting me within
Always
Well, you've painted all my vibrance with your grey
And you dropped me like a rose left to decay
I back down
Out of fear and pure intimidation
I give in
When you say you need your second chances
Why can't I cope with anything
Without damaging myself?
Denying almost all advice
And don't think twice
'Cause there's something in the water
And I fear I'm sinking in
My previous self is haunting me within
Always
I can't stand and fight
Even though I've tried
But my heart won't beat in silence
A day will come when I'll be numb to your
Violence
Moments tick tock by the hour
Potential is fading from this flower
Foreseen futures start to tumble
Why must I remain so humble?
The worst part of all of this
Is the coldhearted fact that
You're so consumed in your own selfish desires
That confronting you would be nothing but
Meaningless
And karma's not enough to clean this bed
At the thought of you
I blame myself again
Why can't I cope with anything
Without damaging myself?
Denying almost all advice
And don't think twice
'Cause there's something in the water
And I fear I'm sinking in
My previous self is haunting me within
Always
