Tread down the path
That I seek towards peace
But I fall to my knees

Instead of my progress
Towards what they promised
Purpose behind the sting

Rip away
The false smile that I hide
Rip away
My sense of security
Hide behind
The walls that I've built
Hide behind
A fake sense of hope

I don't expect you to give me pity
I don't expect you to show you understand
Just know that I'm in a constant battle
Between me and the voices in my head

Burn the bridge
For a second, I'll find peace
But you can't respark the flame
Without a moment as rigid
And hard as flint

I live life in a constant state of existential dread
What's the point of even living
If inside we're all just dead?
Constantly searching for release
Never content
I hope for sweet release
Bring me peace

I see the match to light the fuse
Flash
Flash

Construct of death
Witness the scars of my past
Begin to tear at my mind
Bury me down
Bury me down
Rake my heart
I'll clear this world
My last goodbye

I've lost all hope
Eternally wandering alone
I know I'll find my way
Guided by the flame

Burn the bridge
For a second, I'll find peace
But you can't respark the flame
Without a moment as rigid
And hard as flint

I live life in a constant state of existential dread
What's the point of even living
If inside we're all just dead
Constantly searching for release
Never content
I hope for sweet release
Bring me peace

Leave me with the company of my reality
Please believe

I'll choke down one more line
Of false hope before I burn
Before I burn
Ignite the flame
