Leeching Life

Drained from wounds that you cannot see
Carry nothing and have nothing to give
Swim in chaos, smother in doubt
A painful life now lies ahead

Now it's dark inside
Memories stashed away
Now it's dark inside
Shame and guilt is our child

There's no light where we stray
No salvation where we aim
Don't want to die if I never lived
Close the door, you're on your own

Pain is all they left behind
Pain is all that's left inside

Right here I fall
Right here is where it ends
Blood in my eyes
Blood in my mouth

Moving on but can't you see?
We're just an inch from falling down
Walking backwards, embracing the dead
Can't go back, you're on your own

Now it's dark inside s
Shame and guilt is our child
Now it's dark inside
Memories stashed away
