so this is how it feels 
to be guilty of a crime 
another lesson learned, 
but how do we survive? 
i dig my fingers into the soul beneath my skin 
i can feel it bleeding, 
deep within 

i can’t stop shaking, 
my bones are breaking 
this life is a life, 

a shame a can’t hide 

i know that i am nothing 
except that pain in your spine 
why aren’t you saying something? 
why do i feel so alive? 
my soul is slowly dripping 
out of my hand into your skin 
it’s like this world is slipping 
why can’t we just let it in? 

i’m sorry that i hurt you 
i’m sorry that i lie 
i’m sorry for all the answers 
that nights that you cry 

i can’t stop shaking, 
my bones are breaking 
this life is a life, 

my shame a can’t hide 

i know that i am nothing 
except that pain in your spine 
why aren’t you saying something? 
why do i feel so alive? 
my soul is slowly dripping 
out of my hand into your skin 
it’s like this world is slipping 
why can’t we just let it in? 

why can’t you stay? don’t go away i hate you, i love you, i cannot live without you
