[Verse 1]

I can still remember when I was seventeen

The whole world right in front of me, with velvet skin

I came here for direction, but I got lost

I came here for protection, at any cost

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

I got nothing to show, I got nothing to show

And I know, and I know, that it's nobody's fault but mine

And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

That the things that you wish for rarely ever come true

[Chorus 1]

I came alive, I had a spark, when I was younger

Now that I am older, heavy on my shoulders, hands around my neck

Now there's nothing left

[Verse 2]

Sometimes like a thunderstorm, evеrything erupts (everything еrupts)

A silent rage of mercury, within my veins

(within my veins)

Trembling hands of paranoia; a cloud of dust

It covers me entirely, like empty lust

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

I was looking for somebody, looking for love

And I know, and I know, that I ended up all on my own

(I ended up alone)

And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

That the things you dream of rarely ever come true

[Chorus 2]

I came alive, I had a spark, when I was younger

Now that I am older, heavy on my shoulders, hands around my neck

You were the lie I should have told when I was stronger

Now that I am weaker, everything is bleaker, hands around my neck

Now there's nothing left

[Bridge]

If there is a world where we don't exist within it

If there is a place, if we don't exist within it

If there is a world, we don't exist within it

If there is a world and we don't exist within it

(take me there)

If there is a world, we don't exist within it

(take me there)

If there is a place, we don't exist within it

(take me there)

[Chorus]

I came alive, I had a spark, when I was younger

Now that I am older, heavy on my shoulders, hands around my neck

You were the lie I should have told when I was stronger

Now that I am weaker, everything is bleaker, hands around my neck

Now there's nothing left
