I can still remember when I was seventeen
The whole world right in front of me with velvet skin
I came here for direction but I got lost
I came here for protection at any cost
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
I got nothing to show, I got nothing to show
And I know, and I know that it's nobody fault but mine
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
That the things that you wish for rarely ever come true
I came alive
I had a spark
When I was younger
Now that I am older
Heavy on my shoulders
Hands around my neck
Now there's nothing left
Sometimes like a thunderstorm everything erupts
A silent rage of mercury within my veins
Trembling hands of paranoia; a cloud of dust
It covers me entirely like empty lust
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
I was looking for somebody, looking for love
And I know, and I know that I ended up all on my own
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
That the things that you dream of rarely ever come true
I came alive
I had a spark
When I was younger
Now that I am older
Heavy on my shoulders
Hands around my neck
You were the lie
I should've told
When I was stronger
Now that I am weaker
Everything is bleaker
Hands around my neck
Now there's nothing left
If there is a world where we don't exist within it
If there is a place where we don't exist within it
If there is a world where we don't exist within it
If there is a place where we don't exist within it (take me there)
If there is a world where we don't exist within it (take me there)
If there is a place where we don't exist within it (take me there)
I came alive
I had a spark
When I was younger
Now that I am older
Heavy on my shoulders
Hands around my neck
You were the lie
I should've told
When I was stronger
Now that I am weaker
Everything is bleaker
Hands around my neck
Now there's nothing left
