lyrics

Running from what I seek
I can't ignore a mind that speaks
Nothing makes this go away
My feet are moving but here I stay
Scratching and clawing till my fingers bleed
This portrait painted, I don't see
To the world it's all a smile
But what's inside is far more vile

Desolate. Desolate. Desolation is my only kin

Every day in which I wake
Collapses in front of me
Taking breaths is exasperating
Fortune never finds its way
Still I'm forced to misery
And all I've hated, I've hated alone

Trying to move trying to move on
Skies as black as blood
That's seeping from my eyes
The abyss I've always wanted
Finally the silence
Mother please forgive me
There's nothing I can change
Mother please forgive me
I can't escape this pain

Desolate. Desolate. Desolation is my only kin

Surrounding me the air so thin
I feel it coming from within
Desolation buried inside

Fortune never finds its way
Still I'm forced to misery
And all I've hated, I've hated alone

Every day in which I wake
Collapses in front of me
Taking breaths is exasperating
Fortune never finds its way
Still I'm forced to misery
And all I've hated, I've hated alone
