(Verse 1) Crawling through the haze, face down in the dirt Confusion and panic grip my heart I don't know what happened, I just know I'm hurt Haunted by a vague memory of coming apart

Broken and disfigured, my body lies on the ground I see it from above, as I circle around The line between life and death becomes a blur My eyes flutter, and I begin to stir

(Chorus) Heart stop and body drop You left me to write the end of my story Tore me to shreds and left my soul on top Fuck heaven and hell, I've chosen purgatory I am pain. I am suffering. I am persistence I will be a pestilence upon your existence No more should have to face what I endured Rest assured, I will never rest

(Verse 2) My throat crushed, my lungs burned My voice unrecognizable and twisted A heart wishing for a death well earned But instead of darkness I persisted

Howls hang in the air, echoes of suffering A song fallen like the angels who sung it Memories of a future that never was And a determination that will never quit

(Chorus)

(Bridge) This is not the life I wanted, this was not my dream There's no going back, there's no second chance But this is all I have, so I need to stand up... as hopeless as it might seem Push through the fog, push through this trance

(Chorus)
