All That's Left to See

Burdened with the task of keeping track of the days
Counting the minutes on the clock as they fade away
I never thought I would even make it to see today, but I'm here, and the life I lead is caving in on me

Dragging me through the streets
Bringing me to my knees
But as the world spins around me, another day comes and goes, and I'm still waiting
I didn't choose to be in this world, my self-destructive acts will always go unheard
And this veil that I hide behind gives me a better way to see what this world is like

I watched you change
You watched me do the same
And I saw your change, but I'll never let my hate do the same

I never dreamed my life would end up this way, searching for any meaning in this fucked up place
Everyone here once spoke in a similar way, singing the same songs that we all once sang

You knew my face, you never knew me
You saw your demons, when you looked right at me
You knew my face, you never knew me
You never knew me at all

Here we are
With shattered hearts staring back at me, no room left to breath, the world caves in on me, all that's left to see:

A man so lost and confused, a man so beaten black and blue, a man staring back at you
A man just like you
