Lyrics

Don't you roll your fucking eyes at me
When I confess my sins
Cause you are not a priest
I can't pray it away
All this pain I keep
You want me to be clean
But these filthy Stains run deep
But I'll bleed while I still can
The only thing you understand

When my eyes shine bright
In your headlights
Don't ask me why
Don't say there were no signs
Open my throat so you can hear
The noise that leaves falls on deaf ears
Don't you ever
Ask me to speak again

Is it a surprise
That I can't wait to leave
Try to close my eyes
Still I see everything

So don't you look away
I screamed until my fucking lungs gave out
One last attempt and it's all over now

I tried so hard to say
Don't tell me I'm ok
I know it's not your fault
But this is all I've got
Will you hear me in the dark
Would you save me
Can you see me breaking down
Will you see me face now I'm buried
Will you leave me in the ground
Now I've been here so long
The dirt is where I'm from
Repent
Repose
Restore
I'll be there when your life moves on

You want me to keep clean
I'll wash away the blood
Cauterise my wounds
And step into the sun
I'll sacrifice my soul to save you from the flood
And you will never know the shit that I have done

I spend my days in the obituary
Hoping that one day I will read my name
I see my face and realise I'm buried
Safe and warm in someone else's grave
I think I'd like to stay

Again I wait
For this to end
Again I wait
For this to fucking end
For this to end

I tried so hard to say
Don't tell me I'm ok
I know it's not your fault
But this is all that I've got
