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
