to those left behind

where is the life within us?

buried inside

where is the light that blinds us?

buried alive not ready to die

go!

you found me at my worst

when i was far too weak to grow

speaking all your shallow words

and always casting the first stone

in spite of all my fears

and how i may have lost my way

only now i know the truth

you tried to suffocate me

suffocate me

look at what we've become

suffocate me

buried alive not ready to die

awake and coming clean

if you can't sleep

it's your conscience

that's eating away

at the mess you made

so let's end this

sew this last stitch

lift this weight off my chest

i'll put you to rest

the past should stay dead

how did we find ourselves here?

haunted by our own design

with everything that's come to pass

makes it harder to confine

reach up with open hands

nobody left to pull me through

and if i lose my grief

still better off without you

if you can't sleep

it's your conscience

that's eating away

at the mess you made

so let's end this

sew this last stitch

lift this weight off my chest

i'll put you to rest

if you can't sleep

it's your conscience

that's eating away

at the mess you made

the past should stay dead

you're like a cancer living inside of me

i feel the pressure it's getting harder to breathe

you're like a cancer living inside of me

i feel the pressure it's getting harder to breathe

you're like a cancer living inside of me

if you can't sleep

it's your conscience

you're like a cancer living inside of me

so let's end this

sew this last stitch

you're like a cancer living inside of me

the past should stay dead
