How many times does it take to say goodbye? Always run from the truth to remain living a lie Another victim of addiction Claimed a life of self destruction Afraid to let the light in Bring me back to how things used to be Breathe me to life, allow my eyes to see The ghost before you craves to feel But be warned, just know that nothing is real Abandoned in the dark I'm reaching out but nobody's there for me Not so much as goodbye The only truth to confide Leave your life in the hands of alkaline and ecstasy Take my breath away Pull me under the surface Bring me back to how things used to be Breathe me to life, allow my eyes to see The ghost before you craves to feel But be warned, just know that nothing is real Breathe in slow No one will save you when I lose control As time stands still, the emptiness inside is all I feel Nothing is real Nothing is real
