I wake up at the end of a long, dark, lonely year
Its bringing out the worst in me
I hear your voice start breaking in fear
When the lights go down
And I still feel you looking over my shoulder
Your sinking guilt and approaching nightmare
And I know none of us will survive
Because I know everything
Alright
And my dear I need you to move a little faster
This second counts as the rest of your life
Your final word and an itchy finger
And then its taken away
And well be beaten down without mercy or meaning
I turn my face to a careless skyline
Im searching hard for a sign from heaven
But theyve forgotten me here
You can just stop talking, I get it
I hear your silence loud and clear
I know its barely a thought but itll see us through
Im only setting you free so just let it happen
Just let it happen, no need to fear
Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it
Sex, f*ck, and fluorescent lighting
A hollow point on an angry bullet
Were on the teeth of a crocodile
Were in the mouth of the gun
And sometimes at night I feel Im just a broken vessel
An instrument with a darker purpose
Im at the throat of the young and the helpless
Because theyve got nothing to say
So you can just stop talking, I get it
I hear your silence loud and clear
I know its barely a thought but itll see us through
Im only setting you free so just let it happen
Just let it happen, no need to fear
Yeah you can just stop talking, I get it
I sit here shaking as my voice utters your name.
Tears fall from my dust gray eyes
I allow my thick black hair to spill over my face
and hide me behind the mask I've hidden behind for years
I've tried to talk to you, but you do not listen.
The twisted fairy tale of my life will just not do,
Oh no, not for you.
I have to be just like you,
or I'm not good enough.
I don't wanna be just like you.
I wanna be just like ME.
I came to you seeking your love and acceptance.
You took one look and turned away
I watched you walk down the street shaking your head in disgust.
I feel it coming just as the sight of you fades.
I collapse to my knees and tears begin to fall.
If you do not want me as your daughter,
Just tell me and I promise I'll run.
I'll run home far away from you.
Just tell me you don't wish to see me,
and I'll perish from the earth the way I did everything else
...
Just for you.
