Choking on bitter ashes
Nursing a chemical burn
You'll never listen
You'll never learn
Holding onto wounds will
Let scars define you
Beneath your bloody mask is
Someone who wants to be loved
And you're convinced that
You're not enough
You drown it out
Til your heart stops beating
When pain is all that you sow
You'll remain broken and cold
You need to learn to let go
You're growing hollowed
And heartless
You're hurting those that surround
If they still care
You shut em out
You need to let it go
You're withering away
Canvassing all your callouses
Painting another black hole
You need to listen
You need to learn
Cause now you're bleeding
On everyone that's close
Wrapped in a cocoon of bandages
You won't heal
If never revealed
The walls you're building
Are not a cure
You'll be alone when
Your heart stops beating
When pain is all that you sow
You'll remain broken and cold
You need to learn to let go
You're growing hollowed
And heartless
You're hurting those that surround
If they still care
You shut em out
You need to let it go
You're withering away
And just like the smoke in the flames
You're losing yourself
In the masquerade
But just like the sun in the rain
There's beauty beyond
All your pain
You're running from
The very thing you need
When pain is all that you sow
You'll remain broken and cold
You need to learn to let go
You're growing hollowed
And heartless
You're hurting those that surround
If they still care
You shut em out
You need to let it go
You're withering away
