The Man That Never Was

I wanna scream at the top of my lungs

Pissed off at myself for what I’ve done

I’ve been down this path

I’ve felt the wrath of the sins from my past

It burns so deep

What I’ve done to you I’ll never escape

It burns so deep

You’re everything I’ll never be

I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then

Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again

Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess

I got a fear that my heart got up and left

Oh I’m somewhere drifting hanging out with regret

We're laughing making jokes of past things I did

I call apathy my one and only friend

Keep a distance I could be contagious

I’m a little twisted and in dire need of assistance

I won’t quit these habits if I know I can't have it

Because, because I’m sick, I’m a dick

I’m quick with my words

Draw on me you'll get hurt

I’m scum, I’m numb

There's nothing you can do to me that I haven't done

I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then

Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again

Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess

I got a fear that my heart got up and left

I am a shadow the hollowed out shell of a man that was

You're my mistake

You're my mistake

I’m the villain

Of this metropolis

I’ll sink this ship

I’ll burn this bridge

I’ll end what little life we're in

I need to open my eyes to see again to see the way I was back then

Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again

Tear open my chest to dig around and tell me why I’m such a mess

I got a fear that my heart got up and left

Does it make sense to feel so spent?

Get this off my chest

Has the best of me came and went

Is this feeling passing? I keep asking

Is this temporary? Please be temporary

They say it gets better with time

Well it's been time enough and I want to live my life

I let you down now you've got me on hold

I just want to go home
