Go on and push me down,
Push me down to the ground.
As it is I can barely stand,
So go on, Aim your righteous hand
Right this way

I believe I've figured you out
Now, my heart is filled with doubt.
Your touch is so cold now
Sir, where do I go from here?


[chorus]
I'm alive but I'm barely breathing,
You won't give me what I'm needing
An answer, that's all I'm asking for
Bruised and bleeding, on the bedroom floor
Is where you left me

Maybe I'm to blame for this confusion,
This constant violent internal delusion
Even if it fell squarely on my shoulders,
I'd never utter a disagreement,
I'd never argue

I'm alive but I'm barely breathing,

You won't give me what I'm needing

An answer, that's all I'm asking for

Bruised and bleeding, on the bedroom floor

Is where you left me

The hole grows deeper,
The Light disappears
I'm reaching for your hand
I can't find your hand
Where are you?

I'm alive but I'm barely breathing,

You won't give me what I'm needing

An answer, that's all I'm asking for

Bruised and bleeding, on the bedroom floor

Is where you left me

Addicted to the loneliness,
Drowning in crimson
I loved you...
Did you have any love for me?

Lets go right now!
I look alive, I'm dead inside.
My heart has holes and black blood flows.
We'll do some drugs, we’ll fall in love and get fucked up while the world just shrugs.
With no thought logically.
We’re wandering the streets so aimlessly.
I hate to see these kids just being put down so painlessly.
And people say you dye your hair and wear tight jeans, that doesn’t mean.
That you can’t scream, or like loud noise, you got a choice, you have a voice.
And just because you showed no love and hate on us, you fucked our trust.
Now watch me thrust this Knife Called Lust into my chest until it busts.



[Chorus]
This love , This Hate
Is burning me away
( is burning me away)
It's hard to face that we're all the same
This love, This Hate
Is Burning me away
(is burning me away)
It's harder times like these that never change ( That never change)

Mad at the fact your dad is an addict, your friend takes pills, he thinks it cures sadness.
I'm not here to attack or make you kids panic, but I just think it's tragic the way you kids have it.
And everybody sins and it all begins, it goes back around, nobody ever wins.
And you stab yourself in the back, EVERYBODY JUST RELAX!
It all just hits so close to home, we all got friends but we stand alone.
And your on your own from a broken home, you keep the truth inside and it stays unknown.
Nostalgia hit and it’s time to quit, and everybody acts like it don't mean shit.
And your friend will stab you just to fuck some girl, put your hands in the air and scream FUCK THE WORLD!!!
[Chorus]
Bridge:
Let go
I'll bring you closer
Right now
I'll hold on tightly
Let go
We're going no where
Somewhere
And things aren't over
Harder times like these!
Growing up on the streets!
Harder times like these!
I'll put you back on your feet!
[Chorus]
Ending:

And I fall to the ground with my teardrops
And I get lost every time my heart stops

This love this hate is burning me away

Striving for life of perpetual bliss,
After years of unrelenting dark abyss.
Thy mother in pursue of education,
So alone is I, self mutilation,
responsible for them, as well as I.

Dishes, laundry, homework, Family support.
Hours in a day are always too short.
Pain, Misery, Judgment, Strain, Mental Stress,
A Train wreck a hopeless industrial mess,
Doing all that I can to make ends meet.

Breathe in, Breathe out, take one step at a time,
Hide behind fake smiles, pretend to be fine,
Drown out my thoughts with the sound of music,
I'm already face down, so what's one more kick?
Cascading waterfall unrelenting...

Just get away, run away, fly away,
Lead me astray, to dreamer's hideaway,
I cannot cry, for the shoulder cries more,
Cannot die, I, a whore for the cold world.
So much to live for, so much to die for,
If only my heart had a home...

Few know the battle I face every day,
Jealousy consumes me, What can I say?
Today I long for a life so carefree,
But tomorrow I'll forever succeed.
And with that thought forever comfort thee,
With Peace, Strength, Bravery, Faith and certainty...
