I've lost
so much
I couldn't hear

you calling
till now
I sit still

for the very first time in years

I was the voice

always denying
you could have fooled me
I would have bought in to anything

you want the proof
the cameras lying
well there's a dying man beneath this skin


so heal me, It's my flesh
you and your glory

and for my parents
forever loving
I want to make them proud of me


stay with me today
and I'll be safe

I am defining desperation
please don't walk away
I want to change

if this is it
what makes me different from anyone
cause I can't hold my own

I need mercy to carry me
so please don't walk away
and things will not be the same


I'm terrified of sleep cause when I do
I can't avoid my thoughts

and It's hard to run when you are
stuck under the covers
I think I've had just about enough

and I'm tired of smiling
when my stomach is tied up in knots


and ohhh for a crown
I will admit that
I would trade all my memories

the broken and smoke covered screens
that I look through
it's a fast and burning world

that's in need of you
so pull me out for good


back to back
it's the weight of the world
I am the person I fear most (enemies)

back to back
I am destructive
so won't you pull out the worst in me

I want none
of the things i've done
to be true

but it's like there's always a gun
pointed at my
head

It's more than they know

please don't walk away

please don't walk away
if this is it
what makes me different from anyone?

if this is it
what makes me different from anyone?
if this is it

what makes me different from anyone?

stay with me today

and I'll be safe
I am defining desperation
please don't walk away
I want to change
if this is it

what makes me different from anyone
cause I can't hold my own
I need mercy to carry me
so please don't walk away
and things will not be the same
