Hosticide
Sometimes I refuse to believe
In those streets laid out for me
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this
I see through smoke and mirrors
I thrive in shallow waters
I stab myself in the back
Just to breathe again
Once in a moment I
Seem to forget that I
There is no saving grace
That can save me from the hell inside
I'll never feel again
I'll never feel again
There is no saving grace
That can me from the hell in my head
I take a step back to reflect
To remind myself I'm a human, divisive, imperfect
And yet was it even worth it
Over the years I've felt so much
Every emotion, now I just feel numb
I am the worst in me
Hollow man with a thicker hide
A little boy that's died inside
Every blessing is a chore
Every battle is a war
When you don't know what you're fighting for
And I never wanted to forget
(We need)
We need it every now and then
Why can't we lead our lives
Embrace the past and let it die
I only came this far
Not for a sake of my own
Are we not satisfied with how we lead our lives
Our scars define a self-inflicted hosticide
It's not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough, it never was, and we won't be
We sacrifice ours lives in the names of others
Though there's nothing wrong in shedding our colors
I can't be myself
I can't beat my self
I lost every
Lost every
Lost every part of my identity
My identity
Hollow man with a thicker hide
Please free the boy trapped inside
For his sake and your own
Give life to these old bones
And I never wanted to forget
(We need)
A little love now and then
Why can't we lead our lives
Embrace the past and let it die
(Let it die)
(So often do we sacrifice our lives in the names of others
Forced to attempt a change we can't always accept
Every now and then we do have to change, though
We have to grow up and acknowledge the world around us
Though there's nothing wrong with shedding our colors
It's all a part of traveling the walk of life
And learning just who we are and how to love those we share this world with
It's true, really, we are imperfect creatures
So stand up
And grow)
We sacrifice ours lives in the names of others
Though there's nothing wrong in shedding our colors
I can't be myself
I can't beat my self
I see through smoke and mirrors
I thrive in shallow waters
I stab myself in the back
Just to breathe again
(Let it die)
We all need something to make us believe
The light at the end of the tunnel is closer than we all think
In those streets laid out for me
I don't deserve this
I don't deserve this
I see through smoke and mirrors
I thrive in shallow waters
I stab myself in the back
Just to breathe again
Once in a moment I
Seem to forget that I
There is no saving grace
That can save me from the hell inside
I'll never feel again
I'll never feel again
There is no saving grace
That can me from the hell in my head
