VERSE ONE:
i remember how my breath got lodged in my throat
as i screamed to stop, as my skin was shattered gold
i remember the dominoes toppled down the tower of the strength i worked so hard to withhold
i remember all i chased after was sunshine
looked after my mother's smile
i remember all i wanted was a moment's time
PRE-CHORUS ONE:
faith, i guess, was an illusion
fate, nothing but intrusion
but i think i can believe if just for a little while
think i can go to sleep in blazing sunlight
CHORUS:
i've been missing half of my soul
since the day i was born into this world
i've been on the hunt for you in my dreams
with a gun behind my back and gritted teeth
my fingers rest on the trigger
metal inside my mouth; blood
but if you dropped to your knees to beg
i'd take you out in less than a breath
you know i could point the blame, the gun on your chest
...or on mine instead
VERSE TWO:
you're pinning this back onto me
as if I'm a potion for misery
and everything i loved is everything i couldn't keep
i could kill for some company
PRE-CHORUS TWO:
don't make me forget what it is to live
don't let me regret, don't make me forgive
someday i will leave this world by my own willingness
don't stop me when the time comes
don't stop me the slightest
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
this is a wasteland, this is your nature
despicable creature, i'll shoot the arrow
at my own heart as the sight i see before me
is the world blazing apart
so look into my eyes and tell me you didn't mean it
tell me you didn't see it, the thirst that's kept me alive
seems like my rage will burn bright tonight
(CHORUS)
