tear me apart

judge me
hit me
stare
scowl

nothing i haven't done
nothing, which i am
nothing, which i feel
nothing, who i love

to be scared
to be feared
to be sad
to be numb

I am numb
i am nothing
tear me apart
tiny pieces at a time

you are empty
you are everything
I was you
you were me

we tried, we failed
you tried again
I'm stuck here
you aren't okay

who said i was?
who told you?
what gave you that idea?
i don't know who i am

i love too many
i love too much
I don't say love
you give it away like candy

caramelized love
caramelized bliss
candied apples
candied piss

we thought we were okay
everyone lies
everyone lies
we lied together

no one is alright
not even our idols
we put them on pedestals
we try to imagine better

for ourselves
for them
for me and you
for an idea

we think
we feel
we fake
we try

will the truth come free
will the lies be told
will i ever come clean
will i ever know you

I love when I lose
i love when I can't
you love when you shouldn't
you love when you cry

I cry the same two songs
you've delevoped my disorder
take back your damage
take back your pain

I never want to see it again
I cry the same two rhythms
I cry the same rhyme
you cry for yourself

i don't pity you
i care
you party to pity
you cry the same song

to dance the same lyrics
to write the same wrongs
that isn't a goodbye
this is the meaning of me

tear me apart
rip my thoughts to shreads
take back the damage
take back the stress
