  • And then I found out how hard it is to really change
    Even hell can get comfy once you've settled in
    I just wanted the numb inside me to leave
    No matter how fucked you get, sorrow is there when you come back down
    Funny thing is, all I ever wanted I already had
    There's glimpses of heaven in every day
    In the friends I have, the music I make, with the love I feel
    I just had to start again

    The days are a deathwish
    A witch hunt for an exit
    I am powerless
    The fragile, the broken
    Sit in circles and stay unspoken
    We are powerless
    Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase
    Silent halls and nameless faces
    I am powerless

    Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die
    I can't fear death, no longer, I've died a thousand times
    Why explore the universe when we don't know ourselves?
    There's an emptiness inside our heads that no one dares to dwell

    Throw me to the flames
    Watch me burn
    Set my world ablaze
    Watch me burn

    How are we on a scale of one to ten?
    Could you tell me what you see?
    Do you wanna talk about it?
    How does that make you feel?

    Have you ever took a blade to your wrists?
    Have you been skipping meals?
    We're gonna try something new today
    How does that make you feel?

    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    In this hospital for souls

    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    In this hospital for souls

    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
    In this hospital for souls

    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn
    In this hospital for souls

    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn
    Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn
