lyrics
//Verse 1
You know that feelin’ when you’re feelin’ trapped and alone?
Demons snatch at your soul?
Wheezin’ and gaspin’ for hope?
Reachin’, graspin’ to hold
On to anything just to cope?
Well I don’t.
Forgot about it,
Lived so long without it.
No church steeple,
Nightstand Bible, or hurt people,
Fire and brimstone decryin’ all my worst evils,
A thousand missionaries with prayers,
Visionaries with wares,
It all falls feeble. Call it my cross to bear.
I’m buried here, dyin’, you forgot about me.
Or I forgot about you.
Who knows the truth,
The toppin’ off of this glass,
The last comfort that I have,
I’d rather that than pop an Ativan,
No takin’ off this mask.
They say to read the Bible,
Pray daily for revival,
I’ve been waitin’ for a while,
No new arrival, I’m through lookin’ for you in every trial.
If you need me, tell me what to do.
But I’m sick of waitin’ for fairy tales to come true.
//Hook
I can’t seem to find a way to open up my eyes,
And see things clearly.
I’m so weary
What do you want from me?
I can’t see it.
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
I can’t see it.
What do you want from me?
I can’t see it.
//Verse 2
I’ve painted darker pictures, but none as bleak as this.
What if I just wasted my life?! Out here seekin’ bliss?
Or what if I just wasted my life, chasin’ the cheapest hits,
Tempted by the weakest kiss, spendin’ next season’s chips.
Fear and doubt in my mind frame,
Lookin’ for the wounds, call me Thomas with these migraines,
I’m done livin’ in a blind rage,
I gave my brain to you, and you left me on this highway.
This whole thing went sideways.
Try to tell me that it didn’t, come and look at it from my lane.
Said you’d steer, just told me to be the drivetrain,
Now I’m lost without a guide,
Man you lied! I swear I tried,
Led the life you said I had to, killed my pride,
Made my plans to fill my mind, with your lines,
Now I’m fine.
I don’t need another lie,
It’s time I design my grind,
I’m findin’ my own ride.
Followin’ my own signs.
//Hook
//Verse 3
Bottle empty now,
Sittin’ in this empty house.
I scream and shout,
The halls echo back my doubts.
Reaffirm what I’ve known,
That I’m alone,
My soul stone,
Ingrown and in pain.
Maybe just insane.
Talkin’ to the walls while I look up to the sky,
Demandin’ of the ceilin’ fan “why?!”
“Why won’t you love me? Why don’t you care?”
“Sittin’ up above me, but ignorin’ me down here?”
It never answers.
Strange that I can never master
The feelin’ of bein’ trapped here,
In the mask that I plastered to my own face,
Laced with shattered pieces of glass from this thrown vase
Fractured from an old grace and twisted hope’s weight.
You know that feelin’ when you’re feelin’ trapped and alone?
Demons snatch at your soul?
Wheezin’ and gaspin’ for hope?
Reachin’, graspin’ to hold
On to anything just to cope?
Well I don’t.
Forgot about it,
Lived so long without it.
//Hook
