Minutes To Midnight

In this farewell,
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth
Of a thousand lies.
 
So let mercy come,
And wash away
What I’ve done.
 
I’ve faced myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself
And let go of what I’ve done.
 
For what I’ve done,
I’ll start again.
And whatever pain may come,
Today this ends.
I’m forgiving what I’ve done. 
 
Wake in a sweat again,
Another day’s been laid to waste
In my disgrace.
Feels like I’ll never leave this place.
There’s no escape.
 
I’m my own worst enemy…
 
I don’t know what to take.
Thought I was focused, but I’m scared.
I’m not prepared.
I hyperventilate.
Looking for help somehow, somewhere,
And no one cares.
 
I’ve given up…
I’m sick of feeling…
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away!
I’m suffocating!
Tell me what the f**k is wrong with me!?
 
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my…
Put me out of my f**king misery!!!
 
No, no more sorrow.
I’ve paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.
 
You will pay for what you’ve done.
Your time has come to be replaced.
Your time has come to be erased.
 
After my dreaming,
I woke with this fear.
What am I leaving?
 
When I’m done here,
When my time comes,
Forget the wrong that I’ve done.
 
Help me leave behind some…
Reasons to be missed.
 
I’m strong on the surface,
Not all the way through.
I’ve never been perfect,
But neither have you.
 
Forgetting…
All the hurt inside,
You’ve learned to hide so well.

Pretending…
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can’t be who you are…

Don’t resent me.
And when you’re feeling empty,
Keep me in your memory,
Leave out all the rest…
Leave out all the rest…
