[Intro] [syncopated distorted guitar chugging, double-kick drums] [high-pitched scream] [Verse 1] [screamed vocals] I wake to find a city She's twisted around my throat Mouth tastes like every failure I've ever had to choke Mirror in the bathroom Just asking why I'm still here I wake just to see it The face I spent my whole life wishing to disappear [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals, driving drum beat] I'm rotting in my skin Can't stand the way I breathe Every thought a little razor carving Just the ones to leave I'm begging for a silence From the voice inside my head But it's screaming, screaming You're better off dead [Post-Chorus] [heavy breakdown, slow tempo feel] [growled vocals] Better off dead [Verse 2] [screamed vocals] I laugh when I'm with strangers So they never smell the rot Scent of like little sacrifices The blood I never sought My life's a bit of darkness But I let it ring out For as if they knew me They'd say if they could feel this poison hollows out [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals] I'm rotting in my skin Can't stand the way I breathe Every thought a little razor carving Just the ones to leave I'm begging for a silence From the voice inside my head But it's screaming, screaming You're better off dead [Bridge] [half-time feel, atmospheric guitars] [clean vocals] I don't remember chasing I don't remember rest Only dying, quiet funeral Of pieces of my chest [screamed vocals] Tell me, would it even matter If I vanished from this world Or am I just a shadow Silently followed through [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals] I'm rotting in my skin Can't stand the way I breathe Every thought a little razor carving Just the ones to leave I'm begging for a silence From the voice inside my head [whispered] So I whisper, whisper [screamed] Please let me live instead
