lyrics

alive
and holding my fingertips for something real
it's compulsive
awake
and counting my losses with each gasping breath
is it worth it?

I feel
with every once of me it breaks my bones
and I'm hollow
my chest
holds all my anxieties and traps the air
and all i know

I'm sorry can't calm down
I'm sorry I'm breaking now
I'm sorry I'm waiting to come home

nobody told me twice
that i'd have to spend my nights
being angry at the world

but we're all alone
I guess we're not alone in that

like a clock
that buries the moments where I feel alright
and all my time
runs out
I'm constantly too aware and zoning out
I'm holding my head in my hands

if only I knew what I know now
I'd stay where I can't be found
or where the people think like me

I'm missing out and growing old
watching the pages unfold
every new catastrophe

I was made to bleed
will you stitch me at the seams

and is this some part of some master plan
I'm selling you out
made it seem like an accident
some holy war

you know I've heard it all before
you know I've heard it all before
you know I've heard it all before
