Force it, pull it until it hurts Glass shards embedded in my nerves Force it, pull it until it hurts Signs of death all around Can't tell what's worse Half-lives burned away Or sleeping in the dirt again Back to nothing Vicious circles, the same routine in the end Pulling stitches through my skin Writing my name in cement Reaching out into the blue With fractured fingers Embracing the pain like a long-lost lover We walk together Give me a taste Give me a taste of what it's like to suffer Beyond myself I want to know what it's like To eat the hurt of the world To bring us to life from dust Forming a faceless grin in rust And sweat, and blood, and love I can't give this up I am alive, i am alive Whisper the noise of Whisper the noise of absolute terror I can feel time slipping away Every day is getting worse but I find comfort in consistency The only thing that hold me together The pain drives me forward forever
