[Verse 1]
I don't remember the last time I felt alive
Without this weight that feels like certain demise, one more time around the sun
I'm still demonized
So I let the blade drop
Free me from these bonds, I am ready
Bleed me empty, forced to solitary
Let the blade drop
Free me from these bonds
Bleed me empty, forced to solitary
[Pre-Chorus]
I stray from hope I cannot get back
I crave all I can never have
[Chorus]
So I embrace the fall and fight for no reward
In spite of all the blood let, I found no cure at all
[Verse 2]
One more year spent wasted, another chance faded
I saw my name on the page, I scratched it out in a rage
Blood stained letters
Let the blade drop
Free me from these bonds, I am ready
Bleed me empty, forced to solitary
Let the blade drop
Free me from these bonds
Bleed me empty, forced to solitary
[Pre-Chorus]
Forced divide
A spirit confined
[Chorus]
So I embrace the fall and fight for no reward
In spite of all the blood let, I found no cure at all
[Bridge]
I stray from hope I cannot get back
And I crave all I can never have
[Breakdown]
Watch me fall
Take pleasure as I shatter
Watch me fall
This heart that doesn't matter
[Outro]
I stray from hope I cannot get back
I crave all I can never have
