Strip me from my worth
So I can stand by it.
So I can see what you see.
And run away from him
Just to come back again.
To spit in his face and leave.
I am free. I’m under your routine
I am yours to please.
I’m under your mercy.
Make me your currency
And spend me as you please
Then take and take till you’re satisfied.
And I’ll be no one
and I’ll be nothing
Without you by my side.
I am free. I’m under your routine
I am yours to please.
I’m under your mercy.
I am no one and I am nothing
I am free. I’m under your routine
I am yours to please.
I’m under your mercy.
I am no one and I am nothing.

How can you possibly miss
Something you never had?
If it wasn't physical
It was never in your hands.
The person I never was,
Fictitious was all you had
The problem isn't visible
How could you understand?
You gouge away to find
Bones and bad timing
Carbon monoxide
Bones and bad timing
How could you possibly miss,
Something you never had?
If it wasn't tangible
It was never in your hands.
And I will never have to find me
Cause I'm not going anywhere
And you will never have to lose me
Cause I'm going nowhere
You're not an anchor
But another concrete block

I am malleable
I’m your pen and ink.
I am yours to consume
And take all that is me.
Well you poured chemicals
And scraped everything.
Now there’s imbalance
And every breath is burning.
How do you stand up straight
When you run from what you create?
You wanted this from me.
Isn’t this what you want me to be?
And with this drink in hand;
A place where nothing belongs.
I held you both above my head.
Now I’m cold and you’re both gone.
I tore you into shreds.
The pictures never reminded.
The memories were never shown.
Well I tried, so swallow, choke, and die.
How do you stand up straight
When you run from what you create?
You wanted this from me.
Isn’t this what you want me to be?
And with this drink in hand;
A place where nothing belongs.
I held you both above my head.
Now I’m cold and you’re both gone.
Well how could you
Want me and not want me?
Well how could you
Blend me in and say that it’s okay?
Well..
It’ll be okay
Why would you lie to me?
It’ll be okay

How does it feel to know
The only one who truly knows
Is your own reflection?
And that is your only friend;
The only one who understands
Exactly what you mean
When you say that you’re stuck.
You’re trying to find a way back out.
And with your luck;
There’s nothing for you around.
You can run. You can hide.
It will never stop.
All you can do is..
You can run you can hide
It will never stop.
All you can do is..
There’s a community
inside these marrow walls.
They want to see me fall.
And now my only enemy
Is the one staring back at me.
I’m trying not be.
When I say that I’m stuck
I’m trying to find a way back out
And with my luck
I’m alone again in this crowd.
You can run. You can hide.
It will never stop.
All you can do is
Try and try; no end in sight.
It will never stop.
It will never not.
It’s not for naught.
Keep telling yourself.
It’s not for naught.
It’s not for naught.

Turn your lens away from me.
Kept me in the dark red
To develop away from anything.
So don’t pray for me as I prey.
This is what you made
But you didn’t want to stay.
If something means everything
then why can’t I see anything
from what I wasn’t meant to be?
Said “don’t rely on me
when you’re thinking of jumping.
And if you cared you wouldn’t be scared
When everything means nothing.
And you said once that you need no one.”
Yet you authored wishful thinking.
Is that why all I see
Is red meat and brevity?
And all I see is red meat.
Eternal bleak brevity.
All I see is red meat.
Eternal bleak brevity.
If something means everything
then why can’t I see anything
from what I wasn’t meant to be?
Said “don’t rely on me
when you’re thinking of jumping.
And if you cared you wouldn’t be scared
When everything means nothing.
And you said once that you need no one.”
Yet you authored wishful thinking.
(When one step forward is two steps back)
There’s no room for progress.
No room for forgiveness,
No room for anything less
Inside of your head.
So why try?
(When one step forward is two steps back)
(When one step forward is two steps back)
Why try?
(When one step forward is two steps back)
(When one step forward)
Why?
(why try)
When one step forward is two steps back?
(why try)
When one step forward is two steps back?
