Patterns retraced as I'm falling in the deepest depths of my self loathing
Am I no longer the man you once had said you love?
We build our castle in the clouds but selfishly I brought it down
And I fell so far from my beliefs
I was always to blame
I let the thought of 'us' change to nothing but pain in your heart
As I watched you walk away I fell apart
So I sift through the grey trying to ease my life
Sunk down in shadows of my broken mind
That sinking feeling deep inside of my chest
It's so familiar and I tried my best
But it was impossible to beat the odds
I'm just a mortal in a world for gods
(Nightmares) reminding endlessly that (I have) been banished in between the black and white
Where I can't see what's right anymore
Where I would rather see me die
I reached for your hand but you left me in the dirt
Where I belong
How did it go so wrong?
That sinking feeling deep inside of my chest
It's so familiar and I tried my best
But it was impossible to beat the odds
I'm just a mortal in a world for gods
I'm slipping deep into this nightmare but I am wide awake
Succumbed to my truest disaster
I let my heart stop beating to ease my life
F*ck!
And when you find me carrying the scars that I call home
Will I be too far gone from saving (save me)
Can I find purpose for my soul?
That sinking feeling deep inside of my chest (inside my chest)
It's so familiar and I tried my best (tried my best)
But it was impossible to beat the odds (beat the odds)
I'm just a mortal in a world for gods
And in this separation I confess (I confess)
The life I'm living has become a mess (I'm a mess)
And every love I've ever known I've lost (Love is lost)
My selfish actions always came with a cost
