  • (I can't see)
    (I can't see) no, no, no
    No, no, no, no, no, no
    (I can't see) no, no, no
    No, no, no

    Got no scars cut on my skin
    Only my truth is wearing thin
    And it hollows me (it hollows me)
    It hollows me

    I hate the darkness of my past
    The cold rebelling, it drives me mad
    And it follows me (follows me)
    It's carving the heart out of me

    I've got to bleed it out
    All my thoughts intoxicated
    'Cause the weight of me
    It buries me alive

    It pulls me down right into the darkness
    It pulls me down and I can't resist

    Let me feel it 'cause I don't know, I can't see
    All I feel is I'm breaking up
    Oh, can't you see it's taking over, over me
    Can't you see?

    Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go
    Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don't
    So, let me bleed it out and purge me
    I can't see
    No, I can't see
    No, I can't see

    'Cause I feel I'm breaking
    (I can't see) no, no, no
    No, no, no, no, no, no
    (I can't see) no, no, no
    No, no, no (I can't see)

    My defiance made me strong
    But now I'm doubting what I have done
    And it's killing me
    It's killing me

    I hate to see what I've become
    I find no peace, no justice done
    This gravity (this gravity)
    It's carving the heart out of me

    I've got to bleed it out
    All my thoughts intoxicated
    'Cause the weight of me
    It buries me alive

    It pulls me down right into the darkness
    It pulls me down and I can't resist

    Let me feel it 'cause I don't know, I can't see
    All I feel is I'm breaking up
    Oh, can't you see it's taking over, over me
    Can't you see?

    Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go
    Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don't
    So, let me bleed it out and purge me
    I can't see (I can't see)
    No, I can't see
    No, I can't see

    'Cause I can't see
    'Cause I can't see

    Let me feel it 'cause I don't know
    I can't see
    No, I can't see
    No, I can't see Writer/s: Daniel Gibson, Robert Westerholt, Sharon Den Adel
