    Perfect little dream, the kind that hurts the most
    Forgot how it feels, well almost
    No one to blame, always the same
    Open my eyes, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up in flames

    It took you to make me realize
    It took you to make me realize
    It took you to make me realize
    It took you to make me see the light

    Smashed up my sanity
    Smashed up integrity
    Smashed up what I believed in
    Smashed up what’s left of me
    Smashed up my everything
    Smashed up all that was true
    Gonna smash myself to pieces
    I don’t know what else to do

    Covered in hope and Vaseline
    Still cannot fix this broken machine
    Watching the hole, it used to be mine
    Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
    Of the trust I will betray
    Give it to me, I throw it away
    After everything I’ve done I hate myself for what I’ve become

    It took you to make me realize
    It took you to make me realize
    It took you to make me realize
    It took you to make me see the light

    Smashed up my sanity
    Smashed up integrity
    Smashed up what I believed in
    Smashed up what’s left of me
    Smashed up my everything
    Smashed up all that was true
    Gonna smash myself to pieces
    I don’t know what else to do

    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up
    I tried
    I gave up

    Smashed up my sanity
    Smashed up integrity
    Smashed up what I believed in
    Smashed up what’s left of me
    Smashed up my everything
    Smashed up all that was true
    Gonna smash myself to pieces
    I don’t know what else to do
    (Throw it away)
    Smashed up my sanity
    Smashed up integrity
    (Throw it away)
    Smashed up what I believed in
    Smashed up what’s left of me
    (Throw it away)
    Smashed up my everything
    Smashed up all that was true
    (Throw it away)

    Gonna smash myself to pieces
    I don’t know what else to do
    (Throw it away)
    Smashed up my sanity
    Smashed up integrity
    (Throw it away)
    Smashed up what I believed in
    Smashed up what’s left of me
    (Throw it away)
    Smashed up my everything
    Smashed up all that was true
    (Throw it away)
    Gonna smash myself to pieces
