The Madman of Gadara - Can't Let Go (feat. Josiah Colon) Lyrics

Why Can't I let you go

Daily, I feel my mind collapse, trying to cure myself, all I can do is just lay here
Weeping, over what could have been, I need that light again, just to get me through the fear
Of solitude, everyone always leaves, leaving me to myself, I am replaceable to you
I'm nothing now, only a piece of shit, why did you leave me here? Can't you see I'm unstable

Drowning, no way to save myself, you'd always pull me down, deep into the ocean
Like a siren, you would pull me to you, you would hypnotise me, killing me with no emotion
Behind an empty smile, there is a broken man, the one that you've created, you left him with no hope left
Helpless, I've been abandoned, betrayed by close friends, left with a hole in my chest

The beginning of the end was the hardest to go through
Madness seeped in as the devil tried to grab my soul
Drinking away all my problems as the day went on
It was the only thing I found that would make me whole

This poison drink's been my companion since the day you left
Numbing the pain you left behind just to get through the day
A tortured soul left with nothing but his own tainted thoughts
Pushing away the darkness seemed to be the only way

For the past year I felt the pain grow stronger each day just gnawing at my soul
I did manage to find something to do in my spare time to get my mind off of it
But no matter how much I progressed, you would always find a way back into my consciousness
Torturing me. Why can't I let you go?

I've felt this way since you've been gone
Stuck in the past I can't move on

Right Now, I feel my mind collapse, trying to cure myself, I'm breaking from the pressure
Damaged, are my emotions, I need to fix myself, I need to make things better
For myself, I am now by myself, I will not harm myself, I will do what I can
Breaking, these old habits, I've had enough now, I'll become a new man

You had me convinced
This poison drink's been my companion since the day you left

I've felt this way since you've been gone
Stuck in the past I can't move on
I've felt this way since you've been gone
Stuck in the past I can't move on
