Can't you see, tell me why
You still linger in a world of strife
Your heart bleeds, you're dead inside
Love to you is like cyanide

Here we go, once again
Nothing's changed, all remains the same
Sharpened words cut like knives
In this state where only frenzy thrives

Can't find a way
(We're all lost anyway)
Every day's the same
(We are all broken)

Can't you see, tell me why
You still linger in a world of strife
Your heart bleeds, you're dead inside
Love to you is like cyanide

All remains unchanged
(Lunacy lingers)
Tell me who's deranged
(Who pulls the trigger)
Distant and estranged
(Emotionless)
Our minds in chains
(Revived hopelessness)

The candle's burning
Down way too fast
Trauma transcends
Dead ends

Come undone, fallen one
Your spirit and your hope's long gone
Battles lost, none are won
You're hailing from a broken home

Can't find your way
(We're all lost anyway)
Different day, same pain
(We are all broken)

Can't you see, tell me why
You still linger in a world of strife
Your heart bleeds, you're dead inside
Love to you is like cyanide

Can't you see, tell me why
You still linger in a world of strife
Your heart bleeds, you're dead inside
Love to you is like cyanide

    My Interpretation

    This song essentially describes someone lost in the daunting darkness of their own mind. The chaos & wretchedness of life has hardened them to the very core. Love itself only registers as poison to their brain. They can't seem to shrug away the shroud of depression & anxiety and in all likelihood will be imprisoned by it till their dying day.
