lyrics

I just don’t feel right for this world
I find no warmth in the souls that I meet
The language they speak weighs less than the sound
Some things once lost can never be found

I fought and I chased when I thought I could win
I've fallen to places you won’t dare live in
The years that I wasted trying to fit in
It's as futile to tear off your skin

You bared your heart and I pledged you mine too
Just know that I tried but I'm just not like you
I thought I could fake it but the truth always wins
Some doors you close never open again

To the heart of the forest I run
To the cave of my isolation
For the heart of the darkness I yearn
Away from the light of the world

Your fires burn too bright for my eyes
The stars are consumed by your lights
I was blind but in darkness I see
I was choking but now I can

And I'm sorry if I let you down
But I just can’t exist in this state
I regret all the time that you wasted
When you thought you could teach me your ways

Your fires burn too bright for my eyes
The stars are consumed by your lights
I was blind but in darkness I see
I was choking but now I can breathe

I fought and I chased when I thought I could win
I’ve fallen to places you won’t dare live in
The years that I wasted trying to fit in
