The Abandoning Lyrics by Love and Death

Between Here & Lost

2013

[Intro]
Wake up sleepy wide awake
[Verse 1]
I am the walking dead
I am death's best friend
I create disaster, I'm the master killing me
There's no innocence, there's only pain, I'm empty
[Pre-Chorus]
Master, master, save me
Master, master, kill me
[Chorus]
Don't give up on me now 'cause that's what I've already done
My body's breaking down, I feel my mind getting numb
[Verse 2]
Why do I hurt myself?
Why can't I escape this hell?
I am always blaming, always chasing broken dreams
I keep screaming out, but no one ever hears me
[Pre-Chorus]
Master, master, save me
Master, master, kill me
[Chorus]
Don't give up on me now 'cause that's what I've already done
My body's breaking down, I feel my mind getting numb
Bleeding from my disconnection, lost inside myself
Forsaken by my own reflection, abandoning myself
[Bridge]
I'm wide awake on myself
I'm wide awake (give up, give up) on myself
Give up, give up
I'm wide awake, save me
[Pre-Chorus]
Master, master, save me
Master, master, kill me
[Chorus]
Don't give up on me now 'cause that's what I've already done
My body's breaking down, I feel my mind getting numb
Bleeding from my disconnection, lost inside myself
Forsaken by my own reflection, abandoning myself
[Outro]
No
I'm wide awake
