The Amity Affliction
Tearing Me Apart
[Verse 1: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
Smoke in my lungs, liquor in my veins
Fear in my eyes, panic in the way
I don't think I'll make it out, make it through the day
Clench my teeth and close my eyes, just make this go away

[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
Oh, it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside
Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind
Tearing me apart, all this pain inside
Searching for the peace I will never find

[Post-Chorus: Joel Birch]
Oh, it's tearing me apart
Tearing me apart

[Verse 2: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
I've got these chains around my feet, and they're dragging me to hell
The embers set my chest alight, a feeling I know all too well
I'm in the mouth of the wolf now, I can hear the words they say
But I'm feeling, oh, so far, I feel so far away

[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
Oh, it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside
Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind
Tearing me apart, all this pain inside
Searching for the peace I will never find
[Bridge: Joel Birch]
The panic's stealing all my breath, Death is calling out my name
He knows I'm not afraid of dying, He knows to me it's all the same
But there is so much on the line, I have to find a better way
I have to find my own redemption, fight the urge to drift away

[Interlude: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
I have to hold you in my heart, I have to hold you in my heart
So I can live another day, live another day

[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
Oh, it's tearing me apart, all this pain inside
Liquor in my veins, panic on my mind
Tearing me apart, all this pain inside
Searching for the peace I will never find

[Outro: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
Tearing me apart, oh, it's tearing me apart
Tearing me apart, oh, it's tearing me apart
Tearing me apart
