Darkness, dear friend, please release me I carry the weight of my sin How do we start again? How do I fix it, this mess I'm in? Rinse and repeat I'd take it back but the blood stained quick And this crimson is all that I see Oh, darkness, dear friend, please release me I carry the weight of my sin A captive to pain and regret As the cycle repeats and the death never ends I will raise you from the dead Say the words and I will set you free The weakest suffer and hide So will you suffer inside Behind your memory? I feel your words They're poison in my veins Driving me insane Sick of this charade Now I must pay for my mistakes (the mess we've made) I earned the suffering anyway See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists I don't know if I can make it on my own These wounds I hold are bleeding To heal is to let go I don't know if I can make it on my own (make it on my own) I'm broken and defeated The mirror's shattered hope And everything it shows I know This love is the death of me Blood, drown in the blood Relive what you've done If you think this choice will erase it You, you fucked it all up Destroyed what you love Don't throw your chance to escape it Oh darkness, dear friend, please release me You pull all my strings from within Sever the ties that will free me I'll never let you control me again I feel your words They're poison in my veins Driving me insane Sick of this charade Now I must pay for my mistakes (the mess we've made) I earned the suffering anyway I don't know if I can make it on my own These wounds I hold are bleeding To heal is to let go (this is the end of my story) I don't know if I can make it on my own (make it on my own) I'm broken and defeated The mirror's shattered hope And everything it shows I know This love is the death of me You did this for you Oh darkness, dear friend, please release me I carry the weight of my sin A captive to pain and regret As the cycle repeats and the death never ends (never ends) Oh darkness, dear friend, please release me I carry the weight of my sin A captive to pain and regret As the cycle repeats and the death never ends I feel you suffer Suffer Suffer
