The muffled sound of old regrets
Burning out like cigarettes
Halfway gone and half to go
Fill the air with darkened haze
And all my empty yesterdays
Have brought me down a deeper low
And I can hardly breathe it in
What if there’s no end at all
How much further can I fall
Getting higher as my life’s descending
Something’s taking over me
I’m not the man I used to be
And I can’t take it if it’s never ending
I know it’s hard to understand
You’ve only breathed it second hand
You’ve never walked inside these shoes
You hope someday I’ll turn around
When I’ve crashed against the ground
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
What if there’s no end at all
How much further can I fall
Getting higher as my life’s descending
Something’s taking over me
I’m not the man I used to be
And I can’t take it if it’s never ending
Trace the marks across my skin
Laying draped across my frame
They tell the story of my sin
But you turn your back and wash your hands of all my shame
What if there’s no end at all
How much further can I fall
Getting higher as my life’s descending
Something’s taking over me
I’m not the man I used to be
And I can’t take it if it’s never ending
What if there’s no end at all
How much further can I fall
Getting higher as my life’s descending
