Lyrics
Empty chest, a rotting cavity
Feeling emotionally empty and decayed inside.
Hollow shell
A metaphor for a person without genuine emotions or substance.
You don't look at me like before
Perceived change in how the person is viewed by someone else.
I'm not perfect, an addict
Acknowledging personal imperfections and struggles with addiction.
To everything that tortures me
Addiction to things causing emotional pain and suffering.
Take me as I am
Requesting acceptance for who the person is.
Or stay away from me
Warning others to stay away if they can't accept the person as they are.
Look what I been through, internal bleeding
Expressing internal struggles and trauma.
Cardiac arrest when you don't see it
Describing a metaphorical cardiac arrest when not acknowledged.
Loneliness it turns me to a demon
Loneliness leading to a dark and demonic state of mind.
Fake another smile and they believe
Faking happiness and fooling others.
Believe in the state of my health
Encouraging belief in the speaker's deteriorating mental and physical health.
In despair
Feeling hopelessness and desperation.
Like an empty shell
Comparing oneself to an empty shell, devoid of substance.
Welcome to my hell
Describing the speaker's emotional state as a personal hell.
Running out of time, you can't fix a broken mind
Running out of time to fix a deteriorating mental state.
Empty chest, a rotting cavity
Reiteration of emotional emptiness and decay.
Hollow shell
Repeating the metaphor of a person without genuine emotions or substance.
You don't look at me like before
Re-emphasizing the perceived change in how the person is viewed.
I'm not perfect, an addict
Reiterating personal imperfections and struggles with addiction.
To everything that tortures me
Repeating the theme of addiction and emotional torture.
Take me as I am
Reiterating the request for acceptance as the person is.
Or stay away from me
Repeating the warning to stay away if acceptance is not possible.
Give me purpose
Seeking purpose in life.
Help me breath in
Asking for assistance to breathe and find meaning.
Pull me closer
Desiring closeness and emotional connection.
Make me feel again
Requesting to feel emotions again.
Lost my motive
Expressing a loss of motivation.
What is there to see ahead
Questioning what the future holds.
I don't want a life without love
Expressing a desire for a life filled with love.
But this world cold it separates us
Commenting on the coldness of the world causing separation.
Now I'm falling
Describing a state of falling mentally.
Mentally crawling
Portraying a sense of mental vulnerability and struggle.
So I'm callin' on my baby to hold on to the promise that she made
Calling on a loved one to hold onto promises made.
Now I'm running on empty
Feeling emotionally drained and exhausted.
Kiss another bottle yeah its looking so tempting
Temptation to escape emotional pain through substances.
I was never okay, I could never display
Admitting to never being okay and dropping pretenses.
But we quit pretending
Rejecting pretense and embracing reality.
Don't you go and act like you never knew what was wrong
Challenging others to acknowledge their awareness of the speaker's struggles.
Lonesome nights inside my head killing me all along
Expressing the pain of lonesome nights and internal struggles.
Don't you calm me down ?
Questioning if someone can provide comfort.
Take me as I am
Reiterating the plea to be accepted as the person is.
Or stay away from me
Repeating the warning to stay away if acceptance is not possible.
