lyrics

I can't help but notice that we've become
A breeding ground for contempt and despise
Your blackened eyes and the scars I hold in my arms
All misgiving to the words of the wise

Now something we all see comes from you...

We came together and created the beautiful
But this blessing was a burden to be
This body's mine and I'll do damn well as I please
But what's inside of you is still half of me

Now something we all see comes from you...

So goodbye Jenny, hello grief
I wear my insides like a wreath
I know we said it's best this way
So goodbye now, just go away

Battle-weary, we see where it is we stand
We can't recover from the loss of our child
I'm haunted by a ghost between you and me
The screaming voice that was never alive

Now something we all see comes from you...

So goodbye Jenny, hello grief
I wear my insides like a wreath
I know we said it's best this way
So goodbye now, just go away

We both made a promise that we're not going to fight
But that was yesteryear...
Now we're both beaten down with no end in sight
So much for yesteryear...

Just say my piece, then a quick release
Is all that I can do
The ones who truly will appreciate life the most
Are those who suffer through

So goodbye Jenny, hello grief
I wear my insides like a wreath
I know we said it's best this way
So goodbye now, just go away

You're someone we all see
