Blow the last candle out
Let the wax harden
I wish I could stop crying
And I wish that someone still loved me

Blow the last candle out
Let the wax harden
I wish I could stop crying
And I wish that someone still loved me

Just breathe and focus
How can I, when the air is so cold and empty
That my lungs froze right in my chest?

I'll be honest, the silver linings
Are getting harder and harder to manufacture
And the smiles are so difficult to fake

I'll be honest, the silver linings
Are getting harder and harder to manufacture
And the smiles are [bad word] so difficult for me to fake

 [bad word] 

What do I have to do or who do I have to kill
To get what I want, what I need?
What do I have to do or who do I have to kill
To get what I want, what I need?

Happiness is an emotion
I was born to this world without, nothing pleases me
I can never be satiated

Through this toil I will breed my own distress
And destroy my best hopes
 [bad word] up the only things

 [bad word] 

I watched my aspirations crash into the ground
On the backs of the angels that I've slain
But I meant so well, I tried so hard
Gave every bit of my soul to what end, to what end

Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
Desolation, desire, exhale, pass away
Desolation, desire, exhale and pass away
