Regret

It's no use trying to make sense
It doesn't mater anyway
There's no one worth the pain
No reason left to stay

I try to turn it off
Where did the old me go?
How did I get so far away?
I just don't know

Every act of kindness
Boils down to lust or greed
No one acts from altruism
It all comes down to need

There's a monster inside my heart
He tries to tear my world apart
There's a demon inside my head
Tells me I'd be better off dead

I try to turn it off
Get back to positive
Don't want to drag you down
To the street where I live

I try to turn it off
Get back to happy days
Pull this barrel from my mouth
And look for better ways

Every act of kindness
Boils down to lust or greed
No one acts from altruism
It all comes down to need

There's a monster inside my heart
He tries to tear my world apart
There's a demon inside my head
Tells me I'd be better off dead

Everything you never tried
Every time you might have lied
Every flaw you tried to hide
Every drop you ever cried

Every time you've been denied
Every tear that ever dried
Everything builds up inside
In waves of regret miles wide
