They say pain makes you stronger, I tell 'em standby
Keep remindin' us how much we can die inside
Left empty and erased, not what you thought you became
Now you're left with a shell and a face with no name
Gave away my trust and it left without a trace
Every bond that I made just collapsed into space
Every love that I had turned to echoes and waves
Screaming out for help, but it fades with the days
You told me to run, so I'm headed for you
Told me to fight, but I had nothing to prove
Now I stand in the wreckage, don't care what it was
Ain't throwin' no hands, I just leave it in the dust
The source of the blast, flattened everything in its path
Looked up and it was gone, like it happened in a flash
One second it's real, next second it's the past
All that we built just turned into ash
Just like that, it's over and gone
Blink once and the world moves on
Just like that, I'm back at the start
Only difference - there's a hole in my heart
Just like that, I'm lost in the dark
No way back as it all falls apart
Just like that, the lights cut out
One step up, now I'm spiraling down
I've been here before, and I'll be here again
Cycle repeats, got used to losin' friends
They say time heals, but I know that it don't
Some wounds go too deep to be stitched or sewn
I tried to move on, but the past got a grip
Every road that I took just lead me to a cliff
Every hope that I held got reduced to a lie
Every promise they made another promise denied
What's faith to a mind that's been twisted and torn
What's love to a heart that was left out to mourn
Ain't no point in a dream when you wake up to dust
Ain't no point in a name when there's no one to trust
They tell me to heal, I tell 'em I'm fine
But the words feel hollow, like they ain't even mine
Maybe I'll break, maybe I won't
Maybe I care, maybe I don't
Just like that, it's over and gone
Blink once and the world moves on
Just like that, I'm back at the start
Only difference - there's a hole in my heart
Just like that, I'm lost in the dark
No way back as it all falls apart
Just like that, the lights cut out
One step up, now I'm spiraling down
I feel nothing at all, and it feels like relief
No hunger, no hope, nothing left to believe
No weight on my chest, no blood in my veins
Not a tear left to shed, not a thought left to change
Let the fire consume and the embers decay
While the numbness sets in, let it carve out my name
Let the echoes go silent and the static replace
As the world fades to black, let me vanish in space
No more pain, no more past, no more ties to pretend
No more fighting for a place that won't let me in
No more looking for a sign, no more waiting for proof
No more running from the truth, I got nothing to lose
So I stand in the void, and I stare at the sky
One blink, one slip, let it all pass me by
They can push and pull, they can scream 'til they bleed
But I was forged in the fire, and I'll never concede
