Tracing Veins - System Syn

I take nothing from this

I walk away holding air

Just barely in my lungs

Aspirating blood from choking on these memories of fantasies

That there will be a light for me

There will be no light in this hollow

There will be no voice for me to follow

Past the damage and regret

Past the fire I could not set

To tell myself that I’m alive

Give me a reason to survive

What does it matter now

If this will ever happen

Tell me you even care

That I have sunk so low

What does it matter now

If I won’t live to see this

Why would you even care

When I’m not there to burden you with guilt

What does it matter now

What does it matter now

What does it matter now

What does it matter now

Tracing veins upon my skin

And holding in my every scream to just a whisper

Choked back to just a ghost of a real emotion

And everything’s inside

Boiling just behind my eyes

Everything’s inside

Boiling just behind my eyes

But they’re too dry to open

And you’re too blind to notice

But what does it matter now

What does it matter now

What does it matter now

If this will ever happen

Tell me you even care

That I have sunk so low

What does it matter now

If I won’t live to see this

Why would you even care

When I’m not there to burden you with guilt

What does it matter now

What does it matter now

What does it matter now

What does it matter now
