lyrics

Verse 1
I'm ready to go
There was so much potential
But over and over it fades away

I'm sorry to everyone
But I just couldn't beat it
And I'm just so tired all the time

Shame and sadness
This tightness in my chest
I can't even drink it away anymore

Bridge
There's no catharsis
I'm just catatonic
Lately the only hope
Comes from these deadly thoughts

Chorus
I could've had the world, and I did
But there wasn't enough
There would never be enough

Focused!
For awhile
Driven!
For awhile
Disciplined!
For awhile
Approaching failure!
Always

Verse 2
When I feel the pressure
I just put my focus elsewhere
When I feel the pressure
It's going fucking nowhere

I erupt from sleep
I thrash and scream
The only release I have are these dreams

And this pain has haunted me all this time
All along
Now I can't breathe a word
It's fine, because they're all absurd

I erupt from sleep
I thrash and scream
The only release I have are these dreams

Bridge
There's no catharsis
I'm just catatonic
Lately the only hope
Comes from these deadly thoughts

Chorus
I could've had the world, and I did
But there wasn't enough
There would never be enough

Focused!
For awhile
Driven!
For awhile
Disciplined!
For awhile
Approaching failure!
Always

Verse 3
I miss who I was but I always hated myself
There's no meaning
There's no meaning

There's no purpose, there's no reason, there's no fight
There's no way that I'm making it out alive
Making it out alive

Your pain and my pain are just temporary
Your pain and my pain are just temporary
I'm bleeding out again
I'm bleeding out again

I'm sorry to everyone
I'm sorry for what I've done
I'm sorry for giving up
But it's all too much
