Have you found your fears?
Have you found your hate?
Does this make you happy?
Does it help you sleep at night?
You said I lied to you,
But you lied to me first,
Your truth is a photograph with the faces cut out!
You said I killed you,
But you know you killed me first,
And you still wonder why you can’t figure me out!
We give and take, give and take,
And I gave you everything,
We give and take, give and take,
And you gave me nothing!
You said I turned my back,
But I remember when you didn’t fight,
You let me get taken away in hysteria!
Do you remember now?
Do your eyes see now?
Can they see the broken man?
Looking back from the mirror?
We give and take, give and take,
And I gave you everything,
We give and take, give and take,
And you gave me nothing!
Have you found suicide yet?
The ending is yet to come,
The beginning has already happened,
And you missed the grand opening.
Good luck getting into the building,
Good luck trying to find a seat,
This place is already burning down,
You missed my screams long ago.
I have found my fears,
I have found my hate,
And it doesn’t make me happy,
It keeps me awake at night!
You taught me to hate you,
And now I hate myself,
And I can only ask…
How do you sleep at night?
How the hell do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep!
We give and take, give and take,
And I gave you everything,
We give and take, give and take,
And you gave me nothing!
I gave my all!
I gave my all!
I gave my all!
I gave my all!
And I am given nothing!
Nothing!
Nothing!
And I am given nothing!
