They say true understanding only comes when you're alone
Well here you'll find me standing lacerated to the bone
I'm lacerated to the bone
I never learn from my mistakes

I should have kept my distance
Should have left well enough alone
Now I watch you feed me the last remnants of my soul

I'm lacerated to the bone
I never learn from my mistakes

From your mouth I watch your words escape
From the ground I watch you walk away

I'm lacerated to the bone
I crawl across this concrete floor
I hear me say, I should have known
I've seen this happen all before
I'm breathing in this vacant hole where no one comes
And no one knows

I should have seen the weeping walls
And closed my ears to desperate thoughts
And now I'm breathing in the cold
Hushed in a corner far from hope
A headcrush man with hopeless fears
I should have known to leave this place
This bitter air this vacant space
I should have left without a trace

I should have run when you touched me
A perfect touch laced with defeat
A single touch to make me weak
You're listening to a dead man speak
I never learned from my mistakes
You're listening to a dead man speak
I never learned from my mistakes
You're listening to a dead man speak
I should have fucking known

You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
You're listening to a dead man speak
