Chemical Burn

[Verse 1]
Choking on bitter ashes
Nursing a chemical burn
You'll never listen, you'll never learn
Holding onto wounds will let scars define you
Beneath your bloody mask is someone who wants to loved
And you're convinced that you're not enough
You drown it out until your heart stops beating
(You drown it out until your heart stops beating)

[Chorus]
When pain is all that you sow
You'll remain broken and cold
You need to learn to let go
You're growing hollow and heartless
You're burning those that surround
If they still care, you shut 'em out
You need let it go
You're withering away

[Verse 2]
Canvassing all your callouses
Painting another black hole
You need to listen, you need to learn
'Cause now you're bleeding on everyone that's close
Wrapped in a cocoon of bandages
You won't heal if never revealed
The walls you're building are not a cure
You'll be alone when your heart stops beating

[Chorus]
When pain is all that you sow
You'll remain broken and cold
You need to learn to let go
You're growing hollow and heartless
You're burning those that surround
If they still care, you shut 'em out
You need let it go
You're withering away

[Bridge]
(Withering away)
And just like the smoke and the flames
You're losing yourself in the masquerade
But just like the sun and the rain
There's beauty beyond all your pain
You're running from the very thing you need

[Chorus]
When pain is all that you sow
You'll remain broken and cold
You need to learn to let go
You're growing hollow and heartless
You're burning those that surround
If they still care, you shut 'em out
You need let it go
You're withering away
