Every time I expel you from my mind
My spirit's broken and fear is all that's left behind
Internal war I refuse to fight
Broken bonds retied twice as tight
Thought I banished you from my life
But out of sight, don't equal out of mind
I told you that I ain't got enough love for two
Shook you off my back and let you slip from my sight
And now I'm buried by your spite
You're really testing me
Wish that you could vanish from my thought forever
Rain down on me
Your shadow following my every step, your voice echoes in my head
Fading memories brought back to life just to haunt me
It's hard enough to sleep with all the demons that surround me
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
I choked the life out of you so it figures you'd repay me
Your shadow following my every step, your voice echoes in my head
Won't let me rest
Internal war I refuse to fight
Broken bonds retied twice as tight, true fucking paranoia
Thought I banished you from my life
But out of sight don't equal out of mind, true fucking paranoia
You follow me, I can feel your stare
Stepped out from your gaze, but it's cold out there
I told you, that I ain't got enough love for two
Skipped a couple months without a second thought
I gave you everything you wanted it was never enough
Shook you off my back and let you slip from my sight
And now I'm buried by your spite
You're really testing me
Wish that you could vanish from my thoughts forever
