Lyrics
Wrapped up. Spat out in your self doubt
Feeling rejected and filled with self-doubt
Should I rip my heart out
Contemplating extreme emotional pain or vulnerability
Pack it up and send it to you
Considering expressing deep emotions to someone
Things said in anger
Words spoken in anger
Said for gain
Words said for personal gain
Said to cut down
Words intended to harm or belittle
I'll never hear again
Regret over not being able to hear certain things again
Well a part of me sees it all too clear
Seeing a situation clearly, but conflicted internally
But another part still burns
An internal conflict, feeling both understanding and anger
For the safety, for the comfort
Struggling between safety and comfort
But our hate outgrew our love and ate it
Hate overpowering and consuming love
I can see it started years ago
Recognizing that the conflict began years ago
And I recognise your pain
Understanding and empathizing with the other person's pain
But I can't forget the innocence
Unable to forget the loss of innocence
That you've taken from me
Feeling victimized by the other person
Now I see you
Aware of the other person's presence
But I can't hear you
Unable to hear the other person's words or perspective
No, I can't hate you
Resisting the urge to hate the other person
No, and I don't want to break you down
Not wanting to break the other person down
There's just some things that I want to tell you
Desiring to communicate important things
Now that you're not hear to drown me out
Expressing thoughts now that the other person is absent
I've just got to break through
Determined to overcome obstacles
I collect the poison as it spills from your mouth
Collecting and analyzing hurtful words
Savour the taste so that I may work you out
Savoring the impact of hurtful words for understanding
When affection becomes affliction
When love turns into a source of suffering
Let it go
Letting go of the pain caused by affection
Been watching for far too long
Observing a situation for an extended period
Far too long to get this wrong
Being cautious to avoid making mistakes
I've got the scars to prove it
Bearing visible scars from past experiences
Snap straight back and I'm here to use it
Quickly recovering from setbacks and ready to confront
Delay the memory of the facts and what's outside
Delaying the acknowledgment of painful truths
Left with your mind, the only place to hide
Retreating to the mind as a refuge
'Cause you're so bitter inside
Recognizing bitterness within oneself
