Only Pain

Running on empty, but I'll still find my way
I'll arrive just in time, please don't go away
Running on empty, I'm known for my mistakes
I'll arrive just in time, for you to feel my pain

Split decision, always second guessing
Hold up, wait a second
I fell asleep a victim to wake up a villain
I created the hit list, I only aim to kill them
Sometimes it's frustrating, other times it's quite thrilling
Whatever my haters be drinking, I only plan to be spilling
Yeah
I'm going everywhere and nowhere at all

Hell's confirmed, but heaven may call
By myself, my back to the wall
You hate, cause you're still crawling
You won't catch me stalling
I look in the mirror and I can see my coffin
I push myself to make more profit
I face my fear and benefit off it
I spend my days fully exhausted
My grandma thinks I truly lost it
Look into my eyes and tell me what you think caused it

I feel it slipping away
Every moment of every day
I don't know what else to say
Take a look and see

Only pain
Made me who I am today
I tell myself that I'm okay
I lie right to my face
So ashamed
I don't need your sympathy
My only promise is to hurt you
Before you hurt me

I hear you now
You say you're proud and that it's well deserved
But underneath the compliments, I could still feel the burn
Every insult and every comment
Just the thought still fucking hurts
The key to happiness
The only thing I've yet to earn

I feel it slipping away
Every second of every day
I don't know what else to say
Want to love but I was taught how to hate
All alone I participate
Everything always be at stake
I want it now before it's too late
I'm going all out
Don't get caught in my way

My only promise is to hurt you
Blow you a kiss and then desert you
Don't look at me and expect some virtue
A couple weeks already past curfew
My POV was once at dirt view
I could never sleep rather disturb you
If you wondering what's got into me
You should be worried bout what already got into you

Only pain
Made me who I am today
I tell myself that I'm okay
I lie right to my face
So ashamed
I don't need your sympathy
My only promise is to hurt you
Before you hurt me

Running on empty
But still I'm on my way
I'll arrive just in time
Please don't go away
Running on empty
I'm known for my mistakes
I'll arrive just in time for you
To feel my pain

With every scar and every bruise
Don't tell me that I don't pay my dudes
My pockets are empty
Got nothing to lose
I don't need luxury
I just want some food
Maybe new shoes
Hit the streets and cruise
Too picky too choose
Blind folded I shoot
I neither win nor lose
I still have yet to find a glimpse of truth
Ugh
I feel it slipping away
Every moment of every day
I don't know what else to say
Take a look and see

Only pain
Made me who I am today
I tell myself that I'm okay
I lie right to my face
So ashamed
I don't need your sympathy
My only promise is to hurt you
Before you hurt me
