STOLE THE LIFE FROM MY HEART

I've been getting visits from ghosts in my room again
Can't get them out of my head
Won't stay clear of my bed
Lonely, and tired, pretending is a thankless game

I'm at my wits and their end
My ropes dipped over that kerosene flame
Days go on without a tear from the sky
Days go on unanswered without a drop from my eye
Cut the chords and cut the chase

There's only so much I can pretend my friends
When I am gone, you are all to blame
Where were you when I did ask you for help
Where were you when I called out your names
So I continued to pretend,
As not to confront you with the pain

The switch has flipped a fast pace again
I remember the quickness in the dark
I settled into routine, and lost sight of my ways
Which stole the life from my heart
