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
