Nothing Left Of Us

I carved your name into the drywall
Just to prove I still feel pain
My knuckles split on memories
That never learned my name
I prayed to gods that never listened
Spat my faith into the sink
If this is what you call forgiveness
I don’t want to be clean

Pre-Chorus
I tried to swallow all the blame
But it keeps clawing up my throat
You taught me how to fucking love
Then showed me how to choke

Chorus
I AM THE WOUND THAT NEVER CLOSES
THE SCAR YOU TRY TO HIDE
I BLED FOR EVERY FUCKING WORD
YOU LEFT ME TO SURVIVE
BURY ME IN BROKEN PROMISES
WATCH ME COME UNDONE
IF THIS IS LOVE, THEN LET IT HURT
UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT OF US

Verse 2
Your silence weighs a thousand tons
It crushes what I was
I built a home inside your lies
And called it fucking trust
Now every mirror screams your name
Every shadow pulls me under
I’d burn this world to feel you blink
But I’m choking on the thunder

Pre-Chorus
You said I’d never be enough
I made that truth my spine
Now every breath is borrowed time
And every cut is mine

Chorus
I AM THE WOUND THAT NEVER CLOSES
THE SCAR YOU TRY TO HIDE
I BLED FOR EVERY FUCKING WORD
YOU LEFT ME TO SURVIVE
BURY ME IN BROKEN PROMISES
WATCH ME COME UNDONE
IF THIS IS LOVE, THEN LET IT HURT
UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT OF US

Breakdown / Bridge
(half-time, screamed)
TEAR IT OUT
RIP IT CLEAN
LOVE WAS JUST A DISEASE IN ME
NO REDEMPTION
NO RELEASE
JUST A FUCKING MEMORY

Final Chorus
I AM THE WOUND
I AM THE BLAME
I AM THE FIRE YOU COULDN’T TAME
DRAG ME DOWN
I’LL DRAG YOU TOO
WE’LL BLEED THIS EMPTY WORLD IN TWO

Outro
So carve my name into your chest
Let it rot beneath your skin
You don’t get to fucking heal
From what you did to me.
