There's a figure of fear standing in the rain
Tell me why have you come back again?
Can't live in misery
And can't let anyone see
The fear finally peels away
But I feel like I'm dying every day
As the needle slides in, the pain slides out
A little less human, a little more doubt
As the needle slides in, the pain slides out
A little less human, a little more doubt
The peace of darkness surrounds me every night
When daybreak returns there's a life-crushing light
No reason to go on
Don't care if I face another dawn
No wish for me to remain
Just want release from this misery and pain
Can't live in misery
And can't let anyone see
No reason to go on
Don't care if I face another dawn
No wish for me to remain
Just want release from this misery and pain
The fear finally peels away
But I feel like I'm dying every day
