Darkness, dear friend, please release me
I carry the weight of my sin

How do we start again?
How do I fix it, this mess I'm in?
Rinse and repeat
I'd take it back but the blood stained quick
And this crimson is all that I see
Oh, darkness, dear friend, please release me
I carry the weight of my sin
A captive to pain and regret
As the cycle repeats and the death never ends
I will raise you from the dead
Say the words and I will set you free
The weakest suffer and hide
So will you suffer inside
Behind your memory?

I feel your words
They're poison in my veins
Driving me insane
Sick of this charade
Now I must pay for my mistakes (the mess we've made)
I earned the suffering anyway
See upcoming rock shows
Get tickets for your favorite artists

I don't know if I can make it on my own
These wounds I hold are bleeding
To heal is to let go
I don't know if I can make it on my own (make it on my own)
I'm broken and defeated
The mirror's shattered hope
And everything it shows
I know
This love is the death of me

Blood, drown in the blood
Relive what you've done
If you think this choice will erase it
You, you fucked it all up
Destroyed what you love
Don't throw your chance to escape it
Oh darkness, dear friend, please release me
You pull all my strings from within
Sever the ties that will free me
I'll never let you control me again

I feel your words
They're poison in my veins
Driving me insane
Sick of this charade
Now I must pay for my mistakes (the mess we've made)
I earned the suffering anyway

I don't know if I can make it on my own
These wounds I hold are bleeding
To heal is to let go (this is the end of my story)
I don't know if I can make it on my own (make it on my own)
I'm broken and defeated
The mirror's shattered hope
And everything it shows
I know
This love is the death of me

You did this for you

Oh darkness, dear friend, please release me
I carry the weight of my sin
A captive to pain and regret
As the cycle repeats and the death never ends (never ends)
Oh darkness, dear friend, please release me
I carry the weight of my sin
A captive to pain and regret
As the cycle repeats and the death never ends

I feel you suffer
Suffer
Suffer
