I suppose in this ever-growing search for love, transcend all my clothes and become bare Cause I'm not sure of anything in this world, except I'm always wearing black and sleeping in How could you compose yourself each day knowing all I know, I cross my heart and hope to die, I swear We remain separate in disdain, barely breathing enemies I've grown so dark I can barely sleep If you ask me how I feel about myself, I'd ask you that right back and expect a pause Who are we to be really feeling anything, it's always been my dream to be empty So drain me of the parts that weigh me down, take my skin and tear me up Make me out to be stronger than I know Make me out to be stronger than I know You'll never love me, I pretend that you love me You'll always be the reason I stay clean
