~LYRICS~
Beating my head against the wall.
Each day, back and forth, show me you're worth fighting for.
I can't stand these thoughts you give me.
Every day I'm a walking travesty.
All thanks to you, fuck you!
You destroyed every sense of self and more.
I can't feel a thing
Lying on my bathroom floor.
I should have learned to turn my back on you
I'm suffering, but I need to see this through
You stripped every ounce of love I had left
If I had any less strength, I'd be hanging by my fucking neck
How could you get a hold of me?
Devastating me, you locust
Just let me be
I can't believe how dependant I was on you
I hate that you used me
Now I see the truth
What what
What the hell have you turned me into?
Full of hate I swear I fucking loved you
You turned me on everything I thought I was
Controlling my every thought, but for what?
Amusement?
Boredom? I'm not fucking okay.
Thanks to you, I can't think of my life any other way
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I should have learned to turn my back on you
I'm suffering, but I needed to see it through
You drained every ounce of love I had left
If I had any less strength, I'd be hanging by my fucking neck
You told me, that you always get your way
In your head, was it all just power plays?
I still think I'm nothing without you
But I'd rather be nothing than be manipulated by you
You fucking locust
Alex - Separate myself, separate and throw it away
Sick of the fight, words exchanged in violent frames
All night I think of why I stay
And I’m growing bitter, grown bitter at the taste and thought of you
Just a locust inside me, a plague
Just a locust now, I’ll separate
Just a locust now, I’ll separate
Just a locust now, I’ll separate
Just a locust, a plague
How could you get a hold of me
Devastating me, you locust
Just let me be
I can't believe how dependant I was on you
I hate that you used me, now I see that's the truth
I’m not the one who walked away, but it’s the end!
Now I see the truth
What what
