Stuck in the backtrack of my past Taking two steps forward and three steps back Living my life staring at the hourglass Thinking how much longer til my relapse Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment Was i ever built to last? Misery makes madness Like the fire from the matchbook Set ablaze this house and leave my secrets Wandering the halls Searching for an exit Scratching fingers on the walls Praying pill after pill will save me from my downfall Searching for a fix Reaching nothing but the gun Feeling my final breath escaping from my lungs Cannot escape this place I'm destined to die here These existential days lead me to my worst fear I find my company in misery And now this is slowly killing me Temptation tricks the mind of an empty soul Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment Was i ever built to last? Ash and dirt is all i'll ever need to fix my rotten soul Trading in my love for poison Selling out my will to live Break apart whats left i'm tryna take it Block out this worthless waste of life i've lived and fucking erase it I cannot get the guilt out of my mind i cannot face it I've betrayed everyone i love and now i cannot fake it Cannot escape this place I'm destined to die here These existential days lead me to my worst fear I find my company in misery And now this is slowly killing me Temptation tricks the mind of an empty soul Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment Was i ever built to last? Cannot escape this place I'm destined to die here These existential days lead me to my worst fear I find my company in misery And now this is slowly killing me Stuck in the backtrack of my past Taking two steps forward and three steps back Living my life staring at the hourglass Thinking how much longer til my relapse Temptation tricks the mind of an empty soul Lacking judgement caught lost in the moment Was i ever built to last? Was i ever built to last? Was he ever built to last?
