I suffocate under the mask I wear to face you every day
I dance the wake you leave behind that buries me away
Your words are razor blades that cut me deeper than the blackest ocean
Screaming from your lips sweet bloody words that lay my heart wide open
And I don’t want to hear you plead your case as if you had one
And I don’t want to love you with nothing left to show anymore
Don’t ever speak again of pain
(I feel your pain)
Brings me down when you’re awake
(When you’re awake)
Your misery is all that I can take
(Your misery is all that I can take)
Don’t ever chain me to your lies
(Chained to your lies)
Casualty of damaged pride
(Your damaged pride)
You’ll never suck me down to take your blame
(You’ll never suck me down to take your blame)
I walk the trail of broken glass you spread behind yourself
Trace my bloody footsteps leading opposite your sick direction
Every day everything your negativity would eat me alive
But I can promise if you follow you will die
And I don’t want to see your sickly smile impair my reason
And I don’t want to be the ground you walk to kill me anymore
Don’t ever speak again of pain
(I feel your pain)
Brings me down when you’re awake
(When you’re awake)
Your misery is all that I can take
(Your misery is all that I can take)
Don’t ever chain me to your lies
(Chained to your lies)
Casualty of damaged pride
(Your damaged pride)
You’ll never suck me down to take your blame
(You’ll never suck me down to take your blame)
Your misery is all that I can take…………….
I suffocate under the mask I wear to face you
Every day………
Don’t ever speak again of pain
(I feel your pain)
Brings me down when you’re awake
(When you’re awake)
Your misery is all that I can take
(Your misery is all that I can take)
Don’t ever chain me to your lies
(Chained to your lies)
Casualty of damaged pride
(Your damaged pride)
You’ll never suck me down to take your blame
(You’ll never suck me down to take your blame)
Don’t ever speak again of pain
(I feel your pain)
Brings me down when you’re awake
(When you’re awake)
Your misery is all that I can take
