Lyrics
Intro – Spoken over muted guitar
Wandering the vile realm that is the finite hell that is our life,
our short spans of agony, love, desire…
From people to things, nothing is safe from me—
flowers wither from my grasp, and so will you… this will never last.
Beat drops
What did I learn in this short time?
We learn that we do not matter. And more importantly—
Hook
I do not matter!
I'm the Midas of destruction,
watch as everything I touch is destroyed—
Nighttime walker, come take me away,
hooded figure, realm of the dark, are you here to stay?
Verse 1 – Alternating
My heart aches with all the hurt I cause,
am I cursed or is this just a fatal flaw?
Nighttime walker, make me pay,
my life’s a misery, contempt and history—
Anxiety and the need to people please
is causing havoc within me—
no one cares if I stay or go (go, go, go, go…)
In the shadows of my mind, chaos reigns,
haunted by the echoes of the choices I’ve made—
Nighttime walker, I don’t wanna stay,
there is nothing, nothing here for me anyway…
Surrounded by the ruins, I’m the one to blame—
ooh, oh…
Pre-Chorus – Call & Response
I walk a road of shattered dreams—
Wake up! Your life is passing you by!
With every step, chaos left as I flee—
Wake up! Your life is passing you by!
Turning dreams to nightmares, it’s haunting me,
not a golden touch, just tarnished and acidic—
Just let me know when you reach your limit…
Silence is what I find, no one cares if I’m there, no one cares if I’m kind—
I try to talk but words don’t escape me, no, they don’t escape…
Am I, am I—
belted scream
Am I dead inside?!
Chorus – Mash-Up
I’ll eat away at your very soul—
You better wake up! Your life is passing you by!
You’ll wonder why I became so cold—
Nighttime walker, come take me away,
When everything you touch just turns to dust,
it’s hard to feel anything… anymore…
My life’s a misery, contempt and history,
no one cares if I stay or go—
Bridge – Breakdown
I’m a pro at self-destruction, don’t get too close to me,
approach with reluctance, you’ll be caught in the chaos,
it’ll set you free… ooh oh—
Silence is what I find, I heard it in my soul,
I heard it in my heart—
I’m a pro at self-destruction, don’t get too close to me,
approach with reluctance, you’ll be caught in the chaos,
there’ll be no time to flee—
Final Chorus – High Intensity
I do not matter!
I’ll eat away at your very soul—
You’ll wonder why I became so cold—
You better wake up! Your life is passing you by!
Nighttime walker, make me pay—
When everything you touch just turns to dust,
it’s hard to feel anything…
Nighttime walker, I don’t wanna stay,
there is nothing, nothing here for me anyway—
When everything you touch just turns to dust,
it’s hard to feel anything…
Outro – Spoken over feedback
Wandering the vile realm that is the finite hell that is our life…
anxiety and the need to people please is causing havoc within me…
extended belted scream
I, I, I, I, I, I—do not matter… anymore…
