Black Heart Society - Can't Say Your Name

You with your cold composure
Leave me on shards of glass
Losing myself as you stand watching
My heart turn black
Inducer of my madness
Confliction and disdain
Twisted the world in my eyes
I'll never be the same
Still going through the motions
To keep my sanity
They said with time it fades but
Why can't you let me be
For as hard as I try
I can't say your name
And it eats me alive
Almost every day
All the words that I write
Can't erase the pain
You tried to hammer nails in
Contortion at your whim
I tore the strings from myself
I wouldn't let you win
Hiding in memories to
Create a fantasy
Whiplash whenever I'm thrown
Into reality
For as hard as I try
I can't say your name
And it eats me alive
Almost every day
All the words that I write
Can't erase the pain
All the stains
Across my broken glass are haunting
Scattered light
Reveals the future that it brought me
In the end
Couldn't I have done without it?
Hear your words
Circling the drain in my mind
Fighting still
To come out on the top of my life
Looking past
The fog surrounding me but sometimes
I can't take it
For as hard as I try
I can't say your name
And it eats me alive
Almost every day
All the words that I write
Can't erase the pain
