Pain starts from point blank
Starting to spread in every vein
It reaches the heart and brain
Soul devoured
You are not here, I wonder if you see through eyes once yours
Are you coming back, I've been holding piece of your soul as my own
Images flashing, the time was and there won't be no more
Soul devoured
Every holiday feels so wrong
Half empty, distorted
Your words echo, out of nowhere
Soul devoured
I wish I could return piece of this soul
But the last kiss would feel so wrong
When everything has already been buried
Soul devoured
The part I cherished and loved so
Stolen and sealed away, raised and recharged as my own
Releasing it as I will, now I only wish I could return it
Soul devoured
But it has nowhere to return to
For you're gone

I say I wanna be healthy, but I turn up the noise
The IV drips a steady stream of poison
I think I'm just in love with the feeling
Break my bones so I can feel them healing
"Crazy" is, I believe, the medical term
When we wanna recover, but we don't wanna learn
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times
And gimme some more of that iodine
I can't make reality connect
I push till I have nothing left
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these lullabys?
I'll run in circles till I crash
One day these steps will be my last
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these lullabys?
I say I wanna be happy, but I quickly forget
Will I sabotage all the good I've got left?
Depression's like a big fur coat,
It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm
"Crazy" is, I believe, the medical term
When we wanna recover, but we don't wanna learn
Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times
And gimme some more of that iodine
I can't make reality connect
I push till I have nothing left
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these lullabys?
I'll run in circles till I crash
One day these steps will be my last
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these lullabys?
I don't like pain, but I bring it to life
I don't like scars but I am good with a knife
I don't like tears when I'm starting to cry
And then I realize I'm destroying my life
I do this to myself
I do this to myself
Stop blaming someone else
We do this to ourselves
I can't make reality connect
I push till I have nothing left
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these lullabys?
I'll run in circles till I crash
One day these steps will be my last
But if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these lullabys?
So if we want to wake up,
Why we still singin' these, why we still singin' these lullabys?
