LYRICS
I reached the end
Now it’s on repeat
You turn it up
As I fall asleep
Moonless nights
Terrified
Live or die
A world denied
Now I’m waiting for light to arrive
While you’re twisting the knife in my side
I don’t know how to save
What you try to erase
Got tangled up
In your desperate play
To drag me down
Every single day
Moonless nights
Petrified
Stand and fight
The war inside
While I’m waiting for light to arrive
And I can’t tell the truth from your lies
I can see you enjoy
What you try to destroy
Despite all the pain
I still bear the blame
The demon in you is me
It seems, it seems
I lost myself
In this doggone place
