Can't Heal You Lyrics

The deeper, you get,
The farther you fall down,
The closer, I get,
The more you distance.

You're lost inside,
You're pale and rib shows,
I'll bury you,
With the demons and the ash.

Can't heal you,
Don't want you,
'Cause you can't,
Save your fuckin' self!

Can't heal you,
Don't need to,
'Cause you won't,
Save yourself!

You are the one who,
Made the decision,
Stuck in a prison,
Shattered and broken.

I am the one who,
Expected to heal you,
Save you from drowning,
And you'll end this nightmare.

Blessed be,
The disillusion,
Of punished misfits,
And the cursed hall of of sun.

Can't heal you,
I don't want to,
'Cause you can't,
Save yourself!

Can't help you,
Don't need to,
'Cause you won't,
Save yourself!

I'm taught to perish,
And fade away,
Become the haunted,
And die as slaves.

Can't heal you,
I don't want to,
'Cause you can't,
Save yourself!

Can't help you,
Don't need to,
'Cause you won't,
Save yourself!

Can't heal you,
Don't want to,
'Cause you can't,
Save your fuckin' self!

Can't help you,
Don't need to,
'Cause you won't,
Save yourself!

I used this song to describe my ex all the time. He's in jail and is goin to prison and when we were together he expected me to make his life better by staying with him but he would never accept the fact that he made his decisions and he has no one but himself to blame for gettin put in that situation.

Awesome Song.

To me this song tells "You come to me for advice but you take it, turn it around and basically tell me to fuck off So i aint gonna help you. But i will be the one laughing when you fuck up your own life by trying to be like everyone else. "its your fault you feel this way, You are the one that put the wall up. But wait, I wont tell you because you "don't need my help" You can do it by yourself right? hahaha"

hm. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. I think it's about a girl with an eating disorder. anorexia nervosa to be exact.

"the deeper you get, the farther you fall down"- the deeper you get into an eating disorder, the harder you fall, the more you push others away, the more you distance yourself from everyone. also explains "the closer i get, the more you dissolve."

"You're lost inside, You're pale and rib shows"- she does'nt know who she is, she's pale and she looks dead from the lack of nourishment, and her ribs are showing.

"I'll bury you, With the demons and the ash."- this is saying that she is going to die soon, and she'll be buried with the demons that told her that she was never good enough, never pretty enough, and never thin enough.

"you were the one who made the decision, stuck in a prison, shattered and broken...[etc]" he is saying that she made the decision to have this disorder, and now she's stuck, and when you have an eating disorder it does feel like you're trapped in a prison, and you are broken. you've completely lost who you are. he was expecting to be able to help her, and save her, but all she did was push him away. so now he's fed up, and she can just go save herself.

"taught to perish, and fade away, become the haunted, and die as slaves" you teach yourself to starve, you want to fade away and become nothing, become invisible. you're haunted by the demons, and you die as a slave to this eating disorder because it completely takes over your life,it controls every thought, and every aspect of your life.

well. thats what I gathered from the song.=/
