Remove the shadows from my eyes

Chains locked and tied across the door

He thinks himself a heroine, tie and run

He is the needle, I am the damage done



My anger is a gift my mind trained my eyes to see

The difference between who I am and the man I want to be

Closed off and silent, fear lashed and left this scar

A wall that won't come down until I know that I know who you are



Tear it down

I'm torn open and spilling out

All my burdens bury me

Restless soul still wrestling

I've felt it closing in on me

For far too long



I feel it

I feel it crawling in my skin

It's going back and forth and then back again

Why does it feel so desperate?

Acceptance, it feels so f**king pointless

A fleeting feeling, a means to an end

Like resurrecting a monument only to tear it down again



Tear it down

I'm torn open and spilling out



All my burdens bury me

Restless soul still wrestling

I've felt it closing in on me

For far too long



Remove the shadows from my eyes

Chains locked and tied across the door

He thinks himself a heroine, tie and run

He is the needle, I am the damage done
