[Verse 1]
I can still remember when I was seventeen
The whole world right in front of me, with velvet skin
I came here for direction, but I got lost
I came here for protection, at any cost

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
I got nothing to show, I got nothing to show
And I know, and I know, that it's nobody's fault but mine
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
That the things that you wish for rarely ever come true

[Chorus 1]
I came alive, I had a spark, when I was younger
Now that I am older, heavy on my shoulders, hands around my neck
Now there's nothing left

[Verse 2]
Sometimes like a thunderstorm, evеrything erupts (everything еrupts)
A silent rage of mercury, within my veins
(within my veins)
Trembling hands of paranoia; a cloud of dust
It covers me entirely, like empty lust

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
I was looking for somebody, looking for love
And I know, and I know, that I ended up all on my own
(I ended up alone)
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
That the things you dream of rarely ever come true
[Chorus 2]
I came alive, I had a spark, when I was younger
Now that I am older, heavy on my shoulders, hands around my neck
You were the lie I should have told when I was stronger
Now that I am weaker, everything is bleaker, hands around my neck
Now there's nothing left

[Bridge]
If there is a world where we don't exist within it
If there is a place, if we don't exist within it
If there is a world, we don't exist within it
If there is a world and we don't exist within it
(take me there)
If there is a world, we don't exist within it
(take me there)
If there is a place, we don't exist within it
(take me there)

[Chorus]
I came alive, I had a spark, when I was younger
Now that I am older, heavy on my shoulders, hands around my neck
You were the lie I should have told when I was stronger
Now that I am weaker, everything is bleaker, hands around my neck
Now there's nothing left
