I keep my mouth stitched shut
With your venom in my veins
Every time I let you in
You weaponize the pain
You say it's all illusions, all the demons in my head
But you never heard a fucking word I said
Cold eyes staring through me like I'm already dead
You feed me fake affection just to leave me misled
Every scar I showed you turned to something you denied
Now I bury every feeling somewhere deep inside
So don't ask why
I fade into the dark tonight
You killed the part of me
That ever tried to fight
I don't trust nobody, not a single fucking soul
Every hand that touched my heart just left another hole
You tell me all the suffering is made up in my brain
But you never gave a damn, you only watched me break
Now the walls are higher than they've ever fucking been
I'd rather drown alone than let you close again
You never cared about me, just a version you could use
Now I choke on all the truth while you distort the proof
You left me like a prison with no windows and no light
Turning all my nightmares into reasons I should hide
Said I was too unstable, too addicted to the grief
Like pain's a fucking choice instead of buried underneath
I tried to let you hold me when the darkness took control
But you just picked apart the broken pieces of my soul
Now every conversation feels like stepping on a landmine
One wrong word and suddenly my blood is on the line
So save your shallow sympathy and empty alibis
You only ever listened just to sharpen all your knives
I don't trust nobody, not a single fucking soul
Every hand that touched my heart just left another hole
You tell me all the suffering is made up in my brain
But you never gave a damn, you only watched me break
Now the walls are higher than they've ever fucking been
I'd rather drown alone than let you close again
You never cared about me, just a version you could use
Now I choke on all the truth while you distort the proof
Maybe I'm a lost cause, maybe I was born wrong
Maybe every memory's another funeral song
But I know what a bitter end tastes like in the dark
And your name still echoes every time my chest sparks
You called me paranoid, said I needed help
While you stood there watching me destroy myself
Now there's nothing left to save, nothing left to try
It's just a ghost inside a body slowly turning into dust
I don't trust nobody, now the damage is complete
Every lie you ever told still crawls beneath my skin
You swore the pain was fiction, said I made it all insane
But the bloodstains on my soul still spell out your name
So I lock myself away where nobody can reach
'Cause vulnerability just gives predators a feast
You never cared about me, you just loved control
Now I carry all this hatred like a grave inside my soul
