lyrics

I can barely seem to find
A way to keep scraping by
Just leave me here
And let me unwind
Cause there’s a method to all this mess
I let emotion burn when I decompress
I inhale and I let it envelope my chest again
Maybe one time maybe ten
Until I’m seeing red
Then rinse and repeat until I go to bed

I’ve been wearing out my throat
Over obsessing, losing hope
These knots can’t be untied
I’ll just run and hide I’ll see you whenever
Afraid of failure, afraid to try
To make a change means changing sides
I hear you when you cry
“You better get it right, or else” but whatever

I tend to overcompensate
Without thinking I leave it to fate
By ignoring the signs
Until it’s too late
And then a pattern begins to emerge
I scream as loud as I can til my soul is purged
Every wound is earned and every stone unturned
A new lesson is sure to be learned

I keep on telling myself that it will one day be done
This will end and will not mean a thing to anyone
