Severed

You will give up
you always do
and time won't let you follow through
your weakness has shown
and now you're everthing they've thrown at you
you knew the tide was coming
you cast yourself adrift
you burned your empty words
and fucked it up again
now the colours drain like blood
down the canvas you abandoned
and shadows hide the words
you replace with excuses
but excuses lose their weight
when you're forced into a corner
and the one you once believed in
has left you there alone

now what can you show
for all the dreams you cripple
now how does it feel
when everything you had is gone
now what can you say
for the life you fought so hard to live
now how does it feel
now how does it feel
how can you walk away
when this was everything you wanted
now how can you say
this was nothing that you needed
how can you fall apart
at a time that is so crucial
now how does it feel
now how does it feel

you are too lost
you'll always be
too caught up in your world to see
reality is spoken
and you turn the other way
you always have a reason
to deny what you destroy
you burn your acid words
and left it all behind
now the reasons fall like cinders
from the fire you avoided
when whispers shun the failures
you tried so hard to hide
when whispers lose their trust
when your lost and apathetic
and the one you once believed in
is a total fucking loss

now what can you show
for all the dreams you cripple
now how does it feel
when everything you had is gone
now what can you say
for the life you fought so hard to live
now how does it feel
now how does it feel
how can you walk away
when this was everything you wanted
now how can you say
this was nothing that you needed
how can you fall apart
at a time that is so crucial
now how does it feel
now how does it feel

now what can you show
for all the dreams you cripple
now what can you show
when everything you had is gone

now what can you show
