E G#
Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.

Reminds me of the time we shared.

Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.

All the songs have been erased.

Guess I've learned from my mistakes.

Loose ends tied in knots. Leaving a lump down in my throat.

Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreads.

Leaving myself open wide
B
Living out a sacrifice.
