[English]

I don't feel youthful

And I don't feel sad

I don't fuck with these pills anymore

But these days move so fast

And I'm starting to notice

The ones that I held closest

Take more than what they give back, yeah

I used to seek violence

But now I use silence as my proper means for attack

Took a lot of time

But I'm not complaining

Took a lot of paranoia

Moving through the stages

Every single time I get the feeling that I'm breaking

Think about another time when I was fucking nameless

Mark my words

This feeling comes with separation

When you get this deep

The feeling comes with desperation

Bring me down

Rip my heart in two

There's nothing that you can say

I know it's true

So let me be

To wear my scars

Tread this road

Til I've gone too far

Left in peace

Kept in parts

Burned this life

For the next to start

So let me be

(I wear my scars)

So let me be

(Tread this road til I've gone too far)

So let me be

(Left in peace, kept in parts, burned this life for the next to start)

Cause I'm dying to live

And I'm sick from the noise

I'll make my way through all that I have to

Cause I'm dying to live

And I've been through the void

And I'll celebrate the fact that I have proof

The state of mind

I've never tried

But I know that it's all my fault

To justify

The darkest times

Means you never had control

It means you never had control

...
