WRETCHED AND DEVINE

How can you die
When you're already dead
Kick my head in
To make me feel alive
I can't remember the last time

Sometimes I press my chest
To see if it's still beating
And I squeeze my wrist
Just to feel my pulse throb
What happened to me?
What made me like this?

And I don't really know why I cry anymore
So how can I fix myself?
How can I make it better?
When I don't know what's wrong

How much further can I go
How much more can I take of this
I'm just so tired of everything
Over and over I climb the same walls
And over and over I fall down again
It leaves me nothing
Nothing but bruises and scars

The quest for happiness and love
Got me nowhere and left me desolate
On my own all by myself
And lauging in the mirror
I ask my wretched reflection
Why did it come down to this?
What did I do, what have I done?
Oh God! Tell me what I've done
So I may beg forgiveness

Someone help me please
Help me escape this
Help me get away
Help me get by myself
Help me get away
Help me get by myself...
