Lyrics
You heard: it's no use trying to make sense, it doesn't matter anyway

I try to turn it off; where did the old me go?

There's a monster inside my heart

Pull this barrel from my mouth and look for better ways
Conveying a moment of intense despair, contemplating self-harm with a firearm.
Every act...
