Hell here

Hold back the tide
And you're the tip of the spear
Always and only the words you fear
No one needs you, yeah, no one needs you
I distanced myself from what I needed most

Now it envelopes me again
Passive aggression in the wake of regret

All the things I've left behind
I am my own thorn in my side
Circumstances allow the world to spin backwards
No one pays who truly deserves
And those who know nothing, can understand nothing

And I've been bitter for so many months
Watching the stars blink out, one by one
Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun
One day I swear I'll be loud enough

Plunge your hands back into the filth
Fight with all of your self-control
Mind over matter
This temple you once called your own

I don't know how I couldn't see through the cracks in my shell
I don't know how they didn't see that I was trapped in myself

I need my skin replaced

Don't let them tell you who you are
What's right, what's wrong
The world does not bow
To the whim of those who cannot even think for themselves

This bridge between our souls has burned
It's not safe to walk on
This bridge has burned
(It's not safe, it has burned)

It's not safe to walk on

And I've been bitter for so many months
Watching the stars blink out, one by one
Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun
One day I swear I'll be loud enough

You'll never know your best days until they've come and gone
So dig yourself out from your hole in the floor
How many days have you just wished that you'd done more?
