everything i thought was real
every dream, every feeling cold
all the ghosts i tried to run from
all the storms rusting into me
. . . SO TELL ME HOW TO FEEL
NOW THAT YOU AREN'T REAL
THERE'S NOTHING TO REVEAL
i ran on glass, broke my bones so i could find you
i cut myself to be around you
and when i bled, you disappeared
just like you knew i always feared
i closed my eyes, and climbed on you so i could breathe
i hung my noose around your tree
suffered addiction to the air around you
now my whole world exists without you
i was a son, i was an angel falling from heaven
i was a slave to your oppression
the prophets never spoke of reasons
for me or for my bitter freedom
you spit on me, filled my dirt with seeds of black
as i carved your name across my back
burned out my eyes into your sun
oh, can?t you see now what you?ve done to me?
if i close my eyes, will this all go away?
if i take your pill, will it all fade away?
if i wake myself, will my darkness peel?
i can?t sleep away because nothing is real.
if i close my eyes, will this all go away?
if i take your pill, will it all fade away?
if i wake myself, will my darkness peel?
i can?t sleep, nothing left is real.
there's nothing left to feel
nothing left is real
there's nothing left to feel
so tell me how to feel
every dream, every feeling cold
all the ghosts i tried to run from
all the storms rusting into me
. . . SO TELL ME HOW TO FEEL
NOW THAT YOU AREN'T REAL
THERE'S NOTHING TO REVEAL
