Torn
Nylist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too scared to break free
Scared to break free from
To break free
Break free from this too
Free from this. Too scared
From this
Too scared to break free
Scared to break free from
To break free
Break free from this too
Free from this. Too scared
From this
Buried in skin. Suffocating within
Can't rip my way out without feeling the pain
How far can I abandon myself?
A new day goes by, still I'm here with no one by my side
I miss the way things were, but now I question this life
For when we die
I've been searching for far too long to find the answers
For when we die
Too scared to break free from this
And put an end to my consciousness
Why must we leave this place behind?
Why must we leave this place behind?
How long have I been torn apart?
How long have I been torn apart?
Will a part of me exist when my blood is on the floor?
Will a part of me resist when I can't take it anymore?
Do I really exist? I can't grasp this concept of reality!
Too scared to break free
Scared to break free from
To break free
Break free from this too




Free from this. Too scared
From this
