[Verse 1]

Gone, I couldn't murder your promise

Right before my eyes

The revolutions of my psychosis

Kept me outta the way

Once inside, all I hold is ash

Fall, suppressing every feeling

I'm in so much pain

I have every fuckin' right to hate you

I can't take it


[Pre-Chorus]

The hardest part was knowing

That I could never be you

Now all I do is sit around

And wish I could forget you


[Chorus]

My demise, I took a life worth living

And made it worth a mockery

I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming


[Post-Chorus]

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me


[Verse 2]

Who are you to me? Who am I to you?

Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence?

By default, you are my only link to the outside

Psychosomatic suicide

Where were you when I was down?

Can you show me a way

To face every day with this face?

Goodbye


[Chorus]

My demise, I took a life worth living

And made it worth a mockery

I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming


[Post-Chorus]

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me


[Bridge]

Oh, when I blur my eyes, they make the whole world breathe

I see you fucking me

And I am absolutely controlling every urge to mutilate

The one and only answer, so much for memories

I wanna dress in your insecurities

And be the perfect you, I'm through

I'm outstretched out for all to loathe

Here we go, the ultimate irony

Yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus]

My demise, I took a life worth living

And made it worth a mockery

I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming


[Post-Chorus]

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me

(Stop) I'm always ready to die

But you're killing me


[Outro]

(Stop) Killing me

(Stop) Killing me

(Stop) Killing (Stop) me

Killing me
