Desperation Lyrics by Afflicted

Assisted Suicide

0

I'm waiting, hoping for change
I'm waiting, hoping for pain
I can't think under this pressure
I can't seem to get it through my head

Time moves on and now I'm (staring at the walls and thinking)
It doesn't hurt and so I'll (continue to believe it's working)
Desperate to feel like I am (worth a little bit of something)
Never again will I let you consume what I hold dear
Holding my sanity like it's everything I own and (all that you have left untainted)
Undermining every attempt at (rebuilding my broken image)
Now it all turns to dust

I'm ready to move on from this
So why won't this feeling be gone?
The empty words you spoke
They linger, bringing me down again

Time moves on and now I'm (staring at the walls and thinking)
It doesn't hurt and so I'll (continue to believe it's working)
Desperate to feel like I am (worth a little bit of something)
Never again will I let you consume
What I hold dear (holding my sanity like it's)
Everything I own and (all that you have left untainted)
Undermining every attempt at (rebuilding my broken image)
Now it all turns to dust

You fuckin' hypocrite, tell me you're full of shit
You fuckin' hypocrite, tell me you're sick of it
You fuckin' hypocrite, tell me you're full of shit
You fuckin' hypocrite, tell me you're sick of it

I can tell you what I did wrong
(Can you tell me what I did wrong?)
I can tell you what I did wrong
(Can you tell me where it went wrong?)

Time moves on and now I'm (staring at the walls and thinking)
It doesn't hurt and so I'll (continue to believe it's working)
Desperate to feel like I am (worth a little bit of something)
Never again will I let you consume
What I hold dear (holding my sanity like it's-)
Everything I own and (all that you have left untainted)
Rebuilding myself from the (ground up because I cannot stand)
I will be better than this
