Never
LIFELESS nlftw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i have never seen the light
in the darkness of my life
i've lost myself again
will i ever do things right?

i try over and over
and i never get ahead
i've ignored all advice
from my family and friends
i chose this loneliness
because of what i have felt
about a slowly dying world
and how much i hate myself

and still i've never see the light
in the darkness of my life
lost myself again
will i ever do things right?

anxiety
takes hold of me
it chains me down
and i can't break free
i don't need saving
unless it's from myself
but that's on me
i don't want your help

there is no bottom
i just keep falling
and all i hear
is the end calling

drown, fall deeper down
this life is shit, i've had enough of it.

peace of mind left me long ago
the failure before you is what's left to show
i hit rock bottom, far below the ground
yet somehow i find a way to fall deeper down

deeper down, sink and drown.
don't bother saving, just let me drown.




please let me go, accept my fate.
i live no more. do not resuscitate.
