Into the Night

Why is this so blinding?
A violent flare up
I'm on the brink of giving in
Without a second thought

Flashes of the way out
Dreaming I could stay up another moment
Thinking of what could've been
If only I could slice my skin
Expel the demons racing around my head
I've had enough

I feel like I'm wasting my time
Like I could give it all just to fade into the night
There's nothing left of me
Just take me away

Can you hear me through the pouring rain
As the cracks in the earth become streaks of flame?
Burn the waste
As the heat tears the blood from my veins
Infinite turmoil follows
If only I could stop the ache
Engulf the silence that screams out to me
I've had enough

I feel like I'm wasting my time
Like I could give it all just to fade into the night
There's nothing left of me
Just take me away

Put me in the dirt
As the dead watch the world burn
Empty voices take their place beside me
Violent bodies claw the ground beneath
Tell me what it'd take to pull through
I'll tell you why I wouldn't ask the same of you
Abandon me with all the things I couldn't see
Leave me in the dirt with nothing but the memory

I feel like I'm wasting my time
Like I could give it all just to fade into the night
There's nothing left of me
A violent memory
