  • I'm the face of all the shit that I've lost
    I'm the crook that paid the ultimate cost
    Trying to handle all these thoughts in my head
    I'm the face of all the shit that I've lost

    Backstabbing snakes shedding their skin
    Spitting venom being poisoned within
    I'm the boogeyman under the bed
    Your worst nightmare, walking undead

    I never meant to hurt you
    Violence, my only virtue
    I lived in silence
    Now darkness, it consumes me
    I lie awake I can't sleep
    Weighed down from all these chains
    I can't escape the pain
    My world's gone up in flames
    I am what remains

    These new beginnings, yeah, we threw 'em away
    Hey, hey
    Your stories ending had me take all the blame
    Hey, you
    Go try and judge me but you'll just have to wait
    No such thing as freedom, going from anger to hate
    Feel it

    I never meant to hurt you
    Violence, my only virtue
    I lived in silence
    Now darkness, it consumes me
    I lie awake I can't sleep
    Weighed down from all these chains
    I can't escape the pain
    My world's gone up in flames

    I am what, I am what, I am what remains
    I am what, I am what, I am what remains

    I lie awake I can't sleep
    Weighed down from all these chains
    I can't escape the pain
    My world's gone up in flames

    I'm the face of all the shit that I've lost
    I'm the crook that paid the ultimate cost
    Let's roll

    I never meant to hurt you
    Violence, my only virtue
    I lived in silence
    Now darkness, it consumes me
    I lie awake I can't sleep
    Weighed down from all these chains
    I can't escape the pain
    My world's gone up in flames

    I am what, I am what, I am what remains
    I am what, I am what, I am what remains

    I lie awake I can't sleep
    Weighed down from all these chains
    I can't escape the pain
    My world's gone up in flames

    I am what remains Writer/s: Cody Quistad, Leigh Kakaty
