     I try and breathe, memories overtaking me.

Pre-chorus...

     I only know that I can change, everything else just stays the same.
     So now I step up from the darkness that my life became.

Chorus (heavy distortion)...

     I just needed someone to talk to but you were just too busy with yourself.
     You were never there for me to express how I felt, I just pushed it down.
     But now I'm older and I feel like I should let this anger fade.
     But it seems the surface I am scratching is the bed that I have made.
