(It's not worth it anymore
It's not worth it anymore)
As I walk through your valley of death
Debris of hope, love you left
The vacuum of tears, one final breath

The piece with the fear, the rage, and all of the pride

Kill me
(It's not worth it anymore)
Me

Goodbye to the old days, I'm holding a new hand
Leaving you now for the new promised land
Me
Kill me
Kill me
(It's not worth it anymore)
Me
Kill me
Kill me
(It's not worth it anymore)
