I have been broken for years,
my bones are swimming in tears
living my whole life in fear,
drowning my body with beer

Looking for love in a void,
trying to save what is left
fixing what was once destroyed,
hiding the wounds on my flesh

Here I am gasping for hope,
wishing this life I could cope
but as I travel the slope,
I end up strangled in ropes.
