if i ever saw you
would your voice still sound the same
as the voice that's been ingrained in my head
that destroys me every day undead and uneasy
i can't keep being this way but your spirit's got me seasick
star crossed and anemic
off course adrift and bleeding
let's pretend it's alright
miss the good nights
where we'd drink in the harsh light
wonder why we had that fight
i need insight on what's still in my life
peace comes from inside
but all i do is cry
think about what's left to try
but my heart is empty
you should go and end me
you got a life that i envy
after i tore it all to shreds
i need someone to hold my head
cause i wish i was dead
who has me now except the worms in the ground
maggots pick me clean
rotting in my dreams
six feet underneath no one bothers me
if i never saw you (we wouldn't be this)
if i never caught a glimpse (i'm so defeated)
if i never stepped off this ship (it was my mistake)
if i never felt your lips (you're all that i crave)
if i could get a grip (feelings drowned out)
if i take just one more sip (i'm so gone now)
then this life will be over with
