Sever the Ties

Verse 1:

We move closer to the edge

with every day that goes by

satisfaction is so far away

a distant dream inside our heads

A truth so hard to swallow

we choke on the words trying to come out

with no promise of tomorrow

 

Chorus:

You can't outrun your past

so why do I even try?

This anguish, it cannot last

I wanted the truth, but wishing for a lie

There is a sickness inside me

and it just wont fade away

I am not who I wanted to be

And I am fighting to keep the demons at bay

 

 

Verse 2:

I walk down these haunted streets alone

Panic begins to set it in and I cant understand why

into the abyss I am thrown

The well I drink from to survive has run dry

I rack my brain trying to understand

I try to call for help

but no one is listening anymore

my knees are weak and it's become harder to stand

 

Bridge:

I can't accept myself

what has gone wrong?

I can't look in the mirror

I wish I was more strong

I know if I am gonna move on I have to realize I am worth more

than this hollow shell I am letting myself become

I don't want this

I never did

I am running out of options

and the only thing that is clear

is that I have to let go

or this will destroy me

I wont let this kill me

no, I won't give in

I'm moving on
