As the time runs out
I'll be able to see
I should have rather stayed awake
Than going to sleep
Haunted by regrets
That steal my strength
Going weak through these til there's nothing left in my chest
I'm scraping out my eyes
Cause I'm afraid of getting blind
Pretending to be the tough guy
But nobody can see
That it's slowly killing me
As the sand ran down
It will be too late to tear off the wall
I build up years ago
To protect myself
From these mistakes I could make
Floating through my flawless world
Stop trying
Stop living
I'm scraping out my eyes
Cause I'm afraid of getting blind
Pretending to be the tough guy
But nobody can see
That it's slowly killing me
It's killing me
Gonna kill myself
Open-eyed I realize
That I'm already buried alive
I thought I did everything right, but why am I still so empty inside?
Never fucked up, never took a risk
Eternally perfect but anyhow pissed
Off!
