I stand on a burning bridge between desolation and hope
And as the flames burn, I feel my hatred as it's stoked
Despondency is eating me away at the core
So let's sit back and watch this fire soar
As I walk, I bleed out any drop of hope
A false sense of confidence time and time exposed
Camaraderie and happiness are withering away
I just want to capitulate and leave it all today
Everything I worked so hard for is whisked away
(And I'm never repaid)
Guided by the light and led to darkness
(A black void, so heartless)
Enveloped by a cloud of despair and confusion, and
There's not much I can do, 'cuz I am nothing
A sanctuary in my head encases me so I can escape
Reality soon knocks it down and entails my fate
I'm left for dead, I want the red to flow down my face
The sweet release seems better than this nihilistic daze
I stand alone on this adverse path
I've turned into a recluse with a never-ending wrath
Is it bad that I wanted to move on from my past?
I've lost it all; it will only darken in the aftermath
Everything I worked so hard for is whisked away
(And I'm never repaid)
Guided by the light and led to darkness
(A black void, so heartless)
Enveloped by a cloud of despair and confusion, and
There's not much I can do, 'cuz I am nothing
My struggles are what define me
Depression and strife confine me
You will never understand the blackness and hurt inside of me
You say that I'm not trying
I'm needy, sly, and lying
But everything's been stripped away;
Escape seems so enticing
