[Intro]

Destroy

Yeah


[Verse 1]

Too tragic to stay with you

Too static to try for you

These scars, they swallow hard

The part of the past that's hollow and dark

Too horrid to kill for you

Too sordid to die with you

Unstable as always, come down

Everything else is just dust and sound


[Chorus]

Separate (I've lost my only way)

Separate, I've lost my only way

Separate (I've lost my only way)

See the shape, broken and thrown away


[Verse 2]

I'd give it all away

Come take it all away

You can't resent the fear

Somebody, tell me how I got here

I'd give it all to you

Come take it, it's all for you

The noise is so damn loud, but

Everything else is just dust and sound


[Chorus]

Separate (I've lost my only way)

Separate, I've lost my only way

Separate (I've lost my only way)

See the shape, broken and thrown away


[Bridge]

I don't wanna do this anymore

Everything's shit, everything's been taken, forsaken

Gotta start it over, 'cause I'm hearing it backwards

Don't make sense, don't feel better

Who's better? It's not that simple

You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult

It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy

Draw your conclusions, solutions?

Anybody else wanna run?

Contorting, distorting, I am undone

One less propaganda nightmare fixture

Are you getting the picture?


[Chorus]

Separate (I've lost my only way)

Separate, I've lost my only way

Separate (I've lost my only way)

See the shape, boken and thrown away

Separate (I've lost my only way)

Separate, I've lost my only way

Separate (I've lost my only way)

See the shape, broken and thrown away


[Outro]

I'm broken and thrown away

Yeah
