Lyrics

Desolate

[Verse]

Is there a god looking out for me?

I’ve waited for what feels like centuries

There's no change

Barely coherent for a day

And misery comes at me like a freight train

The bitter taste, the barren waste

I collapse in this burning space

My soul reaches out to God

But he can’t reciprocate (He can't reciprocate)

[Chorus]

Clouds pass covering the sun in my dreams

My coma spanned for centuries it seems

Do you really understand just how desolate my world can get?

Said it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly

Around my neck

[Breakdown]

My world is so desolate

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

Either way, I don’t know where I’ll end up

[Chorus]

Clouds pass covering the sun in my dreams

My coma spanned for centuries it seems

Do you really understand just how desolate my world can get?

Said it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly

Around my neck

[Post-Chorus]

My mother’s dead

My lover’s left hanging by a thread

Said it’s more like a noose tied tightly, tightly

Around my neck

[Bridge]

The louder that I scream, no one hears me

The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming

The louder that I scream, no one hears me

The more that I’m awake, I’m still dreaming

[Outro]

Don’t you cry for me when I’m gone

Pick up this scattered debris

From the wreckage that I leave behind

You can’t save me

I’m not worth it anyway

One foot on safe ground, the other hanging off the edge
