I can't seem to focus, 
It's hopeless unless the sky opens, 
Look you in the eyes and all I see is a blur hoping, 
That my previous mindstate; could be resurrected, 
To the old me; it's like you had me injected with imperfection, 
How could you be so reckless? I initially meant it, 
Seems like you put your effort into me, what am I left with? 
Nothin' but a canvas with a black and white portrait, 
Of me and you, in a burnin' garden of scorchin' orchards. 
Simple beauty that's bein torn down by your power, 
That constantly pounds on my soul hour after hour, 
Now I can hardly breathe, get rid of these memories, 
Continually haunting me, 
Cant change who [bad word] to be, 
The darkness only ends as soon as you open your eyes, 
And you hope to realize that hope is cloaked in disguise, 
Again I look you in the eyes and all I see is a blur, 
But when I look in the mirror I can see who you were. 

Nothing I can say or do, 
Will take away what I've been through, 
What you were is what [bad word] to be, 
Nothing you can say to me, 
Will take away these memories, 
What you were is what [bad word] to be! 

what [bad word] to be x2 

The sky opens wide, to swallow me again, 
Once I am inside, I'm lost and can?t pretend, 
These pictures in my mind, are not a part of me, 
These memories hold me tight, till I can hardly breathe 

I can hardly breathe (breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe...) x2 

I can hardly stop the memories.. 

Nothing I can say or do, 
Will take away what I've been through, 
What you were is what [bad word] to be, 
Nothing you can say to me, 
Will take away these memories, 
What you were is what [bad word] to be! 
Now I can hardly breathe, get rid of these memories, 
Continually haunting me, 
Cant change who [bad word] to be x4 

I can hardly breathe..... 
(I can hardly stop the memories..) 
Now I can hardly breathe, change who [bad word] to be. 

Nothing I can say or do, 
Will take away what I've been through, 
What you were is what [bad word] to be, 
Nothing you can say to me, 
Will take away these memories, 
What you were is what [bad word] to be
