Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm holding on so tightly now,
My insides scream so loud
They keep watching,
Watching me drowned,
How did it come to this

How did it come to this?
How did I know it was you?

It was a bad dream?
Asphyxiated and watch me bleed
The life support was cut,
The knot was too tight,
They push and pull me but
They know they'll never win

Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way

I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on like this,
They make me sick,
And I get so sick of it,
Cause they won't let me,
They won't let me breath,
Why can't they let me be?

Why can't they let me be?
Why don't I know what I am?
I force this hate into my heart
Cause it's my only friend,
My lips are sewn shut,
I watch my self bleed,
They push and pull me
And it's killing me within

Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way

I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on this way
I can't keep going,
Can't keep going on this way

My heart beat stumbles and
My back bone crumbles
I feel is it real as
The lynch mob doubles?

They want blood and they'll kill for it,
Drain me and they'll kneel for it
Burn me at the stake met
The devil made the deal for it.

Guillotine dreams, yeah,
They're guillotine gleams,
The blood of they're enemies
Watching while they sense me.

Sentencing ceased, sentence
Diseased and watch them bask
In the glory of their holy disease

Throw it all away throw it all away
I keep on screaming but
There's really nothing left to say
So get away, just get away
I keep on fighting but
I can't keep going on this way

I keep on running,
I keep on running
I keep on running
But I can't keep
Going on this way

I keep on running
I keep on running

But I can't keep
Going on this way

Line by Line Meaning

I'm holding on so tightly now,
I'm desperately clinging to something

My insides scream so loud
My emotions are overwhelming

They keep watching,
I'm being observed

Watching me drowned,
I feel like I'm helpless and sinking

How did it come to this
What circumstances led me to this point?

Throw it all away throw it all away
Abandon everything and start over

I keep on screaming but
I continue to express myself

There's really nothing left to say
But there's no point in talking

So get away, just get away
I need to distance myself

I can't keep going,
I can't continue in this state

Can't keep going on like this,
I can't handle this situation anymore

They make me sick,
Others are causing me distress

And I get so sick of it,
I'm tired of feeling this way

Cause they won't let me,
Others are preventing me from doing what I want

They won't let me breath,
I feel suffocated and trapped

Why can't they let me be?
Why won't others leave me alone?

Why don't I know what I am?
I'm unsure of my identity

I force this hate into my heart
I'm trying to create negative feelings to cope

Cause it's my only friend,
Anger and resentment feel more comforting than vulnerability

My lips are sewn shut,
I feel like I can't speak my mind

I watch my self bleed,
I'm hurting myself

They push and pull me
Others are trying to control me

And it's killing me within
This situation is causing me emotional distress

My heart beat stumbles and
I feel physically and emotionally weak

My back bone crumbles
I feel like I'm losing my strength and stability

I feel is it real as
I'm starting to question reality

The lynch mob doubles?
Is there a group of people coming after me?

They want blood and they'll kill for it,
Others are out for vengeance and will do anything to get it

Drain me and they'll kneel for it
They will benefit from my pain and suffering

Burn me at the stake met
They want to punish me severely

The devil made the deal for it.
They are willing to make a pact with evil to get what they want

Guillotine dreams, yeah,
I'm having nightmares about punishment

They're guillotine gleams,
The image of a guillotine is haunting me

The blood of they're enemies
They want to see others suffer

Watching while they sense me.
They are tracking my every move

Sentencing ceased, sentence
Their judgement has stopped me in my tracks

Diseased and watch them bask
They take pleasure in my misery

In the glory of their holy disease
They're proud of their twisted ideals

I keep on running,
I try to escape

But I can't keep going on this way
But I can't keep doing this forever
