Peace of mind is hard to find
Thoughts of the end brace my presence
I greet it like an old friend,
With open arms I embrace my fate
What’s the point of holding on?
What’s the point of being strong?
I want to leave all that I know
I want to leave, I want to go (“I want to go”)
So, god take me, away from this place
Drag me to hell and give me grace
So, god take me away
I want to feel alive
But I’m dead inside
I want to be full of life
But the dead do not rise
(“The dead do not rise”)
So, cover me in my mistakes
And leave me to rot (x4)
(“Leave me to rot”)
So, begone with the thoughts that cloud you
And be ridden with the judgement that surrounds you
You are safe in these hands, you are safe do you understand?
(“I hear you”)
I hear you I really do
But you do not understand what I’ve been through (x2)
This life of mine is in torment all the time (x2)
So, cover me in my mistakes
And leave me to rot (x4)
I am nothing but a mistake
I should be erased from this place
I am a hopeless case
I am as dead as dead as dead can be
Leave me to rot in peace
Leave me to rot in peace
Leave me to rot
In peace.
