You're the pain inside my chest,
You’re the thorn in my side.
You're my sleepless night,
You’re the ghost inside my mind.

I roam these broken roads
That we used to know so well.
But now they stir up pain-
It's a pain that I can't kill.

I'm trapped by these four walls,
As they inch closer still.
They wait for me to slip,
Like a wolf would stalk his kill.

I scream from this old cage,
Desperate for an ear.
Still, you walk away,
Why can't I make you hear?

My heart's grown sickly vile,
From this trauma in my chest
So I push myself away
Before you can hurt me like the rest.

I claim that it’s in love
As I try to break you down.
And though you’re underfoot,
You still fix my broken crown.

I'm trapped by these four walls,
They inch closer still.
They wait for me to slip,
Like a wolf would stalk his kill.

I scream from this old cage,
Desperate for an ear.
Still, you walk away,
Why can't I make you hear?

You're the pain inside my chest,
You’re the thorn in my side.
You're my sleepless night,
You’re the ghost inside my mind.

I roam these broken roads
That we used to know so well.
But now they stir up pain-
It's a pain that I can't kill.
