lyrics

One more tragedy for my eyes
Woven just to deceive you
Two-faced promise of compromise
Far too easy to see through
But are we gripping ourselves too tight?
This could be everything that we're striving to be
Just look away, shield your eyes from the light
It's coming, and it preys upon your soul

Why can't I just commit
To anything at all?
Just giving in to it and rebuilding this wall

Keep me shut in from the world outside (outside)
There's always something to fear (always a spirit to break)
No one will ever be able to make me feel that way
I swear it feels like every fucking time we try (we try)
To even spin our wheels (to move towards what's real)
Self-pity, lethargy, apathy lives in me

This has controlled me for too long
I keep playing the victim
Shift the blame and end up alone
My nonsensical system
Just stay down, nothing to see up here
Turn around, and take in what you're programmed to see
Don't look away, this is what's needed now
It's coming, and taking all control

We play it like a game
Ready to take the fall
And we keep draining you until you end it all

Keep me shut in from the world outside (outside)
There's always something to fear (always a spirit to break)
No one will ever be able to make me feel that way
I swear it feels like every fucking time we try (we try)
To even spin our wheels (to move towards what's real)
Self-pity, lethargy, apathy lives in me

It lives in me
It lives in me


No way to be
So just take me
I don't want this
Anymore

Take me out into the world outside (outside)
I just want something real (to give my spirit a break)
Someone or something that's able to make me feel that way
I swear I won't let another fucking day go by (go by)
Waiting for this to heal (I'll move towards what's real)
Self-belief becomes the truth that resides in me

It resides in me
