Why don't you hang these steps upside down

We'll walk backwards and feel the blood drain to our heads

While your creeping away why don't we pull the punches back?

And perhaps rebuild those severed ties

When I felt you destroyed everything I knew

I felt ever so slowly becoming you

Where has my heart gone, and where has my faith gone?

And why am I still here, hating every breath you take

Where has my heart gone, and where has my faith gone?

And why am I still here, hating every breath you take

Every step you take, and every move you make?

And just wishing that you'd take your fucking last breath toward expiration

I can't even make myself out in the fog

You are the swamp

You are the sand beneath my feet pulling me down

I have no face for your name, your roots never went any further down

I felt them writhe in the cellars of my mind

Rotted through right where they fell, yet here I am

The wasted pulp of what you are

Where has my heart gone and where has my faith gone?

And why am I still here hating every breath you take

Every step you take, and every move you make?

And just wishing that you'd take your fucking last breath toward expiration

But at least if I fall

I can say we failed together

Sure to be the only thing we ever shared

'cause you were never there

And I'm yet to feel like I'm even here

If I sink into the swamp that is misery

At least I know you'll drown with me as well
