Tired

[OPENING] Waking up to the feeling that the ending has begun Never learning how to embrace the battles we have won Every accusation, every headache, every scar beneath the skin Another heartbeat fading further from the place it should have been Growing distant… The only guarantee Lost forever in this endless… misery [VERSE 1] We argue, we fight, deep into the growing night Searching for salvation in a war of wrong and right Endless complications breed resentment and frustration Every word becomes a weapon in a battle of degradation Your points of condemnation only fuel the fire inside A hatred I keep buried but can never seem to hide [CHORUS] Why do you always feel you're right? Every road you choose is painted black with spite Every word falls from your lips like poison from a knife A sickness in your mind that tears apart my life And I break… And I bleed… And I wonder why **[DEEP BREATH AND EXHALE]** It's never ending [VERSE 2] Short-sighted and exhausting, every word you breathe out loud Blaming everything and everyone beneath a suffocating cloud I search for peace in solitude, away from all the blame But every step I take away still pulls me back again I'm so tired… **[DEEP BREATH AND EXHALE]** Always bending [PRE-CHORUS] The smiling has faded, the happiness degraded I sit with all these memories that never get unshaded This burning ring upon my hand weighs heavier every day A symbol of the promises that slowly fade away What else is new? What can I do? A mind consumed by mysteries A life entangled in family and memories [CHORUS] Why do you always feel you're right? Every road you choose is painted black with spite Every word falls from your lips like poison from a knife A sickness in your mind that tears apart my life And I break… And I bleed… And I finally realize **[DEEP BREATH AND EXHALE]** I'm breaking down [BRIDGE] Let go… hold on… Be free… or be gone I stripped away the person that I used to be To fit inside the shape you wanted me to see Lost my voice, lost my protection Buried underneath your perfect reflection Where does this end? When do I mend? [FINAL VERSE] Control is your absolution Silence is my only solution Hatred breeds the hostility That you keep giving back to me Overwhelming, endless agony Born from simple human apathy Bleeding out the soul and bone Leaving me awake and alone No more fighting… No more pretending… **[BREATHING OUT]** Goodbye
