Prompt / Lyrics

[Verse]
I cant hide this shame. Try to stuff it down. But it just keeps popping up again. I mask the fear the fear that surrounds me. Screaming I'm pleading. But its still pulling me away from you.
Why, do I, disguise the truth and toy with the emotions. Standing firm on the hill of lies and blind devotion. Molded a life free from the ashes. Still surprised to see, how long we have lasted. Laying in this bed of broken dreams. Reliving this nightmare with the trust that has been broken.
[Chorus]
If I stop treading now, I will surely drown. Sink to the bottom in the pit of despair. Unaware, unprepared, to find nothing there. It's all just an illusion, oh the confusion. Taking the consequences of someone else's mistakes. It's not fucking fair.
[Verse]
I carry this heavy weight over my shoulder. The choice was made. I carried the mistake. Now I'm headed for know where. Now I'm all caught up with my head in a vice. As you took me for granted. I should of thought twice. Chosen the wrong and ran further from right.
[Chorus]
If I stop treading now, I will surely drown. Sink to the bottom in the pit of despair. Unaware, unprepared, to find nothing there. It's all just an illusion, oh the confusion. Taking the consequences of someone else's mistakes. It's not fucking fair.
[Guitar Solo]

[Female Vocal]
To emerge from this fire I created myself. Threw you under the bus to save myself. Watch you as you walk through the burning embers of trying to figure me out. The hero is tarnished and beaten. Cut into pieces. Then like garbage was thrown the fuck out.
[Male Vocal]

[Female Vocal]

[Final Chorus]
If I stop treading now, I will surely drown. Sink to the bottom in the pit of despair. Unaware, unprepared, to find nothing there. It's all just an illusion, oh the confusion. Taking the consequences of someone else's mistakes. It's not fucking fair.
[Outro]
I can't and I won't. This will never happen. Got dealt a bad hand of cards. That started a chain reaction. Buried under the same walls that I was trapped in. Lost to be never found. How did this happen.
