lyrics

Try and be a little consistent for me please
Drop the act and tell me something I can believe
I'll blame it on my lack of self control
I feel it pouring over, and washing away on my skin

Teach me to drink the poison that I make
Save for myself, but give none away
Show me the words you kept in your throat
Let them escape, and become my new home

I feel your sadness
But tell me where is your rage?
I feel it turning me into something I'm not supposed to be
I'm tired but I'd rather do
Anything but sleep
I choose every word so carefully, just begging that you'd notice

I find myself pacing around my empty room
My mind moves too fast for me to understand
Every single day seems half as long as the last
I'll eat my three course meal of anger sadness and fear

Feel my knuckles turn to white
Skin begins to burn
Crimson shadows overthrow all of my sanity
Feel my knuckles turn to white
(I was the one who)
Skin begins to burn
(Put the holes in your hand)
Crimson shadows overthrow all of my sanity
Feel my knuckles turn to white
(I was the one who)
Skin begins to burn
(Put the holes in your hand)
Crimson shadows overthrow all of my sanity
Feel my knuckles turn to white
(I was the one who)
Skin begins to burn
(Put the holes in your hand)
Crimson shadows overthrow all of my sanity

Show me the words you kept in your throat
Let them escape and become my new home
