Don't leave me alone
I'm feeling so numb
I need you to be here, I need you to call
And everything's wrong
A beautiful shame
Everything's ugly, hazy, and gray
Doesn't it hurt?
Trick and control you
Deceive and destroy you
Doesn't it hurt?
Forget and move on
I'm here and I'm strong
I've got you to blame when it's finally done

I'm not afraid
Of these feelings here inside
I'm sure someday I'll let go of all this hate for you
I'll let go of all this hate

Does it make you feel inside what you've never felt before
Does it promise you a life, but that left you all alone
Doesn't it hurt?
Trick and control you
Deceive and destroy you
Doesn't it hurt?
Forget and move on
I'm here and I'm strong
I've got you to blame when it's finally done

I'm not afraid
Of these feelings here inside
I'm sure someday I'll let go of all this hate for you...
I'll let go of all this hate

    This song is awesome and to me it's about people that have screwed the person in the song over: friends, lovers, ect. They're wondering doesn't it hurt them, doesn't it make them feel sick that they can do this to a person? But at the same time the person in the song is letting go, they're moving on, and they're on their way. They're the better person from this. This song is so cool to turn up really loud when you're mad and just let the music wash over you.

    I think this song kicks soooooo much ass! i love it. i think it's saying how hard it is to get over someone and that you're scared of the feelings inside and they make you feel so bad that doesn't it hurt them to do that? that's just my opinion....and earshot does not sound like Tool, just thought i'd clear that up for all the people that seem to think so :)

    Very good song from a band with ample potential. I seem to dislike all of the new bands i hear on the radio because they all sound alike, and they all sound very untalented. Earshot sounded completely different and seemed to be on a higher level. Their songs, like this one, are much deeper than the songs of other new bands. THIS BAND HAS POTENTIAL.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
