I hurt myself today,
To see if I still feel,
I focus on the pain,
The only thing that's real,

It's all so clear to me now,
A fraction of the man I used to be,
For every breath I take draws in the fear,
Only I know that the worst is yet to come,
I live in a dark world, where no light shines through,
I carry this burden with every step I take,
Thrust myself into a new days end,
And focus on the hour glass, to help pass the time,

So is this falling apart or are these pieces of me?
Is this a nightmare to be or am I building a dream?
Its funny how life can be the circles dance around me,
Drawing a reminder of what I've done and who I've become,
Sleepin' my days without dreams, Wakin' a night without sleep,

Well I'm so empty,
I'm better off without you,
And you're better off without me,
As wicked as you are,
You're beautiful to me,
You're the darkest burning star,
You're my perfect disease,

I catch all the tears you cried,
I want all the things you hide,
It doesn't matter who's to blame,
But when we're through,
The two of us won't feel the same,

In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil come closing in for a kill

If I ever leave this world alive
I'll thank for all the things you did in my life
If I ever leave this world alive
I'll take on all the sadness that I left behind
If I ever leave this world alive
The madness that you feel will soon subside

Someday I will walk away and say,
“You disappoint me”,
Maybe you’re better off this way,
