Shield my eyes from the truth
But it makes it all much worse
They say ignorance is bliss
But look at all this hurtI'm a ghost with a beating heart
I walk the earth
searching for reason
Hoping for relief
Like it's just for the seasonHow winter brought
The darkness back
My wrists turned red
My eyes turned blackAnd there's no escape
There is no fucking end
The voice becomes
My closest friendEveryone disappears
They're never here
So I'll drown myself
With another beerAnd when the light fades out
And I wake the next day
It's all the same hell
Just no reason to stayI'm not sure if I sleep
Or if I'm even alive
I can't feel a thing
Or maybe I haven't tried
