    Lyrics:
    Why so condescending
    I'm done pretending
    It's all fake
    Might have always been
    Your lies sting and I'm descending
    I can't keep bending
    Or I'll break
    Crumble from within
    Illuminate this dark place where I find myself
    Before it's too late
    It's nearly too late
    You're fading to obscurity
    Why do I keep on clinging to these memories of you and me
    It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
    I keep on giving but you deceive
    A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
    Why do I believe in what I cannot see
    I guess it's all for nothing
    I guess it's all for nothing
    Please hate me cause this apathy is killing me (killing me)
    Please hurt me cause at least it's gonna make me feel (make me feel)
    Right now I can't tell the hardest part
    letting go or let it consume my heart (consume my heart)
    Please fight me cause this apathy is ending me (ending me)
    Please break me cause at least I could begin to heal (begin to heal)
    Cause I cannot tell the hardest part
    You could have let me know right from the start
    You could have let me know right from the start
    It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
    I keep on giving but you deceive
    A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
    Why do I believe in what I cannot see
    I guess it's all for nothing
    I guess it's all for nothing
    You keep running away, running away, from this war
    You should mean nothing to me, nothing to me, anymore
    I feel I'm rotting away, rotting away, to the core
    But you've got nothing to say, why do I stay, closing doors
    Please hate me cause this apathy is killing me
    Please hurt me cause at least it's gonna make me feel
    Please leave cause it's the only way that I can heal
    It's smoke and mirrors but I can't leave
    I keep on giving but you deceive
    A fleeting illusion that keeps on evading me
    Why do I believe in what I cannot see
    I guess it's all for nothing
    I guess it's all for nothing
    I guess it's all for nothing
    I guess it's all for nothing

    so i know I just found you and all, but since I'm in love with everything you've created.
    This is another one of those songs that could be interpreted in different ways. And while I gather most people will interpret it as being about a person, I actually kind of see this song as an ode to addiction.
    Like how when it starts, everything feels fun and great. Until you're trapped in that hell, chasing a high you'll never find again, not just craving this thing, but needing it, even though all it does it tear your life apart. Until eventually, you're so far lost to that hole of addiction that you barely feel anything anymore except for the pain of waking up sick every day, and the high doesn't even feel good anymore, it just gets you straight, so that you can function, but it's an empty kind of existence. But you keep feeding into this addiction even though it doesn't feel good anymore, because at this point, you're in too deep and you've got no choice.
    Not that I'd know anything about that.
