Lyrics

They say true understanding
only comes when you’re alone
Well, here you’ll find me standing
lacerated to the bone
I’m lacerated to the bone
I never learn from my mistakes
I should have kept my distance,
should have left well enough alone
And now I watch you feed me
the last remnants of my soul
I’m lacerated to the bone
I never learn from my mistakes
From your mouth, your words escape,
from the ground, you walk away
I’m lacerated to the bone
I crawl across this concrete floor
I hear me say, “I should have known
I’ve seen this happen all before”
I’m breathing in this vacant hole
where no one comes and no one knows
I should have seen the weeping walls
and closed my ears to desperate thoughts
and now I’m breathing in this hole,
a strange corner far from hope
A headcrush man with hopeless fears
I should have known to leave this place
this bitter air this vacant space
I should have left without a trace
I should have run when you touched me,
a perfect touch laced with defeat,
a single touch to make me weak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
I never learned from my mistakes
You’re listening to a dead man speak
I never learned from my mistakes
You’re listening to a dead man speak.
(I should have fuckin’ known)
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak
You’re listening to a dead man speak

They say true understanding
only comes when you' re alone
Well, here you' ll find me standing
lacerated to the bone
I' m lacerated to the bone
I never learn from my mistakes
