And I know that hope is my enemy Anxiety it rips and tears It's burning me from inside out It won't be long before I'm gone My skin it burns and sears Breaking me from inside out It won't be long This disconnect between my heart and my head Conflict I will never win And this is nothing new I've come to terms with my pain A life lived drinking it in But what is hope if not an empty promise of safety It's only myself I betray waiting for what may never be There might not be a day when I can say that I'm okay So until death takes me I'll be carrying this weight Anxiety it rips and tears It's burning me from inside out It won't be long before I'm gone My skin it burns and sears Breaking me from inside out It won't be long Grip tightening like a vice on my chest I'm trapped I'm claustrophobic And this is day to day Fighting with myself I am what makes me sick But what is hope if not an empty promise of safety It's only myself I betray waiting for what may never be There might not be a day when I can say that I'm okay So until death takes me I'll be carrying this weight And I know that hope is my enemy Yeah But what is hope if not an empty promise of safety It's only myself I betray waiting for what may never be But what is hope if not an empty promise of safety It's only myself I betray waiting for what may never be There might not be a day when I can say that I'm okay So until death takes me I'll be carrying this weight But what is hope if not an empty promise of safety It's only myself I betray waiting for what may never be There might not be a day when I can say that I'm okay So until death takes me I'll be carrying this weight
