You're always saying that there's something wrong.
I'm starting to believe it's you're playing along.
Death came around, forced to hear it's song
And know tomorrow can't be depended onSeen the home inside your head.
Unlocked doors and unmade bedsOpen sores unattended
Let me say just once thatI have faced it, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
I escaped it,a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted.
I'm never going back again.The world awaits just up the stairs
Leave the pain for someone else
Nothing back there for you to find
Or was it you you left behindYou're always saying you're too weak to be Strong.
You're harder on yourself than just about AnyoneWhy swim the channel just to get this far?
Halfway there, why would you turn around?Darkness comes in waves...tell me,
Why invite it to stay?You're one with negativity
Yes, comfort is an energy
But why let the sad song play?I have faced it, a life wasted
I'm never going back againOh I escaped it, a life wasted
I'm never going back againHaving tasted, a life wasted
I'm never going back againOh I erased it, a life wasted
I'm never going back again
