I lived my life as a child Deeply sewn innocent I bartered for my safety since I waged war with the night Getting close to the dying light Tempers fall and water's out of sight Is anybody out there? Can you still hear me? Can you touch the cracks under my skin? Can you leap across the chasm I've created? Can feel you when I sleep I beg for the end I beg for the end I'm always running away Is it still running when there's nothing left behind me I can't seem to stay here When everything is a reminder of after things were easy I have this picture of you painted in my head I felt the start and I believed it to be true There was the lie depending on the point of view Take me, endless sleep I beg for the end I'm begging for it, begging for it As I descend I'm begging for it, begging for it Desperately trying to mend One, two, three, four What am I dying for? Five, six, seven, eight Who can I impersonate? Let me in, I'll show myself out Pure inside, see what I'm all about Watch me flicker, shatter, and dim When I view my reflection all I see is him I need a sitting breath of air An island free of sin When I look back at that cold stare Wondering where you've been I beg for the end I'm begging for it, begging for it As I descend I'm begging for it, begging for it I'm begging for the end I'm begging for it, begging for it (Begging for it, begging for it) Desperately trying to mend I'm begging for it, begging for it (Begging for it, begging for it) I'm begging for the end
