[Verse 1: Wade Walters]
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
Pissed off at myself for what I've done
I've been down this path
I've felt the wrath of the sins from my past
It burns so deep
What I've done to you, I'll never escape
It burns so deep
You're everything I'll never be

[Chorus: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters]
I need to open my eyes
To see again, to find the way I was back then
(Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again)
Tear open my chest
To dig around and tell me why I'm such a mess
I got a fear that my heart got up and left

[Verse 2: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters]
Oh, I'm somewhere drifting, hanging out with regret
We're laughing, making jokes of past things I did
I call apathy "my one and only friend"
Keep a distance, I could be contagious
I'm a little twisted and in dire need of assistance
I won't quit these habits if I know I can't have it
Because, because I'm sick, I'm a dick
I'm quick with my words, draw on me, you'll get hurt
I'm scum, I'm numb
There's nothing you can do to me that I haven't done
[Chorus: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters]
I need to open my eyes
To see again, to find the way I was back then
(Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again)
Tear open my chest
To dig around and tell me why I'm such a mess
I got a fear that my heart got up and left

[Bridge: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters]
I am a shadow, the hollowed out shell
Of a man that was, a man that was
I am a shadow, the hollowed out shell
Of a man that was, a man that was
You're my mistake
You're my mistake
I'm the villain of this metropolis
I'll sink this ship, I'll burn this bridge
I'll end what little life we're in

[Chorus: Richard Rogers & Wade Walters]
I need to open my eyes
To see again, to find the way I was back then
(Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again)
Tear open my chest
To dig around and tell me why I'm such a mess
I got a fear that my heart got up and left
[Post-Chorus: Richard Rogers]
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest
Has the best of me came and went?
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest
Has the best of me came and went?
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest
Has the best of me came and went?
(Is this feeling passing? I keep asking)
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest
Has the best of me came and went?
(Is this temporary? Please be temporary)

[Outro: Richard Rogers]
They say it gets better with time
Well, it's been time enough and I want to live my life
I let you down, now you've got me on hold
I just want to go home
