Lyrics
What a crying shame
Expressing regret or disappointment, acknowledging a sad situation.
I can't escape these haunted hallways
Feeling trapped in unsettling and distressing memories or experiences.
The ghost of myself
Referring to a shadow of one's former self, possibly haunted by past actions.
And everything I love

And pushed away
Emphasizing the act of pushing away things that are cherished or important.
Come hell or come high water
Despite challenges ("hell or high water"), the speaker is deeply unhappy.
I'm miserable as sin
Describing intense misery and likening it to a sinful state of being.
And this position I find myself in
Reflecting on a difficult situation with no resolution in sight.
It's never dead
Suggesting that the speaker's struggles persist, never truly resolving or ending.
Oh, so they say
An ironic statement questioning the validity of optimistic expressions.
Talk of the devil and he will appear
Introducing the theme of confronting negative consequences when discussing taboo topics.
Burdens so heavy, every day it becomes more clear
Highlighting the increasing weight of problems, making them more apparent over time.
Drowning in my addiction
Admitting to being overwhelmed or consumed by addictive behavior.
Drowning in my addiction
Repeating the acknowledgment of being immersed in destructive habits.
I try and stand strong, but I always give in
Expressing an attempt to resist, but ultimately giving in to weakness.
Wish I could escape myself
Desiring an escape from one's own harmful tendencies or thoughts.
This evil intent, evil intent

To kill what I love

Come hell or come high water
Reemphasizing the persistence of misery despite external challenges.
I'm miserable as sin
Reiterating the intense unhappiness and the unresolved nature of the situation.
And this position I find myself in
Reflecting on the continued existence of a problematic situation.
It's never dead
Emphasizing the perpetual and never-ending nature of the struggle.
Oh, so they say
Recalling the earlier ironic statement about optimism.
Talk of the devil and he will appear
Continuing the theme of facing consequences when discussing taboo subjects.
Burdens so heavy, every day it becomes more clear
Stressing the increasing weight of burdens and their growing clarity.
Drowning in my addiction
Repeating the acknowledgment of being overwhelmed by addictive behavior.
Drowning in my addiction

This vicious cycle comes full circle
Describing a recurring and unbroken pattern of destructive behavior.
But I'm still here

And I never knew love

So they say
