Hopeless Case

Dead world of regret
That's never leaving me alone
I'm hunted down by memories
So throw away the things I know
You beat, you crush, you choke

I relieve everyday
There is no choice to make
Some things just can't be saved
We're crying for help anyway

On a throne of broken bones
This is where I decompose
We're always wanting more
Do we know what we're asking for?

So if you go down now
Do I go down with you?
Arm in arm we fall apart
Just like we always do

If I'm not the only one that feels this way
Why do I feel so alone? My hopeless case
With their ears stuck to the ground
Wait for the end
Hoping that they'll hear the sound
When I fail just like them

Desperation eyes
Show me more than I should know
I make it up all as I go
This quiet panic only grows and grows
You beat, you crush, you choke

So tear these eyes away
Let me live like this today
My hands for you to take
My efforts are all in vain

Nights do funny things to me
Understand but you'll never see
We all know I got a history
You can taste but not for free

I'm not convinced I'm right
Why do I even try?
Cross my heart, hope to die
The needles in my eye

If I'm not the only one that feels this way
Why do I feel so alone? My hopeless case
With their ears stuck to the ground
Wait for the end
Hoping that they'll hear the sound
When I fail just like them

All's well that ends well
I play your game, we're just rats in a race
Forget my name, this is hell, this is hell
I play your game, we're just rats in a race
Forget my name and the look of my face

If I'm not the only one that feels this way
Why do I feel so alone? My hopeless case
With their ears stuck to the ground
Wait for the end
Hoping that they'll hear the sound
When I fail just like them
