Lyrics
If I could only fill the void
If only I could fill the emptiness
Open my eyes up and forget
Wish to open my eyes and forget
If I could only have a choice
If only I had a choice
Eaten by pity and regret
Overwhelmed by feelings of pity and regret
If I had a way to numb
If there was a way to numb my emotions
Cut myself off from the rest
Disconnect from others
If I had somewhere to hide
If I had a place to hide
Then I wouldn't stay around you
Expressing a desire to avoid being around someone
I don't need your pity
Rejecting the offer of pity from others
Lord kill the pain
Requesting relief from emotional pain
I see it now, a cast of extras
A realization of being surrounded by indifferent people
Staring me down with blank expressions
Others staring with blank expressions
Just look away, I know it's too late
Advising others to look away as it's too late
Disapproving eyes, isolation and hate
Experiencing disapproval, isolation, and hate
I don't want your prayers
Rejecting prayers from others
If you just want me to change
Not willing to change just to please others
Don't like myself either
Expressing dislike for oneself
Think I'd rather self pity
Preferring self-pity over change
A painted youth slithered into the bathroom
Describing a painted youth entering the bathroom
Where is thine shelter?
Questioning the existence of shelter
Little did they know
Others unaware of the internal struggles
Little did they show
Others not revealing their true selves
The wages of sin is death
Reflecting on the consequences of sin
A curse upon my head
Feeling cursed
A plank in your eye
Reference to hypocrisy (plank in your eye)
A shortness of breath
Experiencing breathlessness
Apollo please release me
Pleading for release from suffering
A season of weakness
Describing a period of vulnerability
Leave me to rest
Seeking rest from challenges
Lest you continue your cruelty
Requesting an end to cruelty
Leave me to rest
Reiterating the need for rest
I am the one they pity
Identifying oneself as the one pitied
A burning feeling, you just can't disguise
Describing an intense, undeniable feeling
So won't you please rid me,
Pleading to be rid of despised clothing
Of these clothes that I so despise
Expressing a desire for liberation
Better off just by myself
Believing it's better to be alone
Wallow in my self pity
Choosing to wallow in self-pity
I'm hoping you could never tell
Hoping others can't perceive true feelings
Always make me feel filthy
Feeling consistently dirty
Better off just by myself
Reiterating a preference for solitude
Wallow in my self pity
Continuing to indulge in self-pity
I'm hoping you could never tell
Desiring to hide true emotions
Always make me feel filthy
Always feeling impure
I don't need your pity
Repeating the rejection of pity
I don't need your pity
Reiterating the rejection of pity
