lyrics

Letting go of what I’ve had/ To start this over again/
Controlling every part of my past will land me right back to where I am/
It’s a dark and scary place/ But I call this place home/
It’s all that I know/ So I’ve been told/

Restrained but never broken/
Lost and I’ve never been found/
This is all an illusion/
A cruel circle that goes round and round/

I stick close to these walls/ I stand tall to seem tough/
I only trick myself/ Cause these monsters knew once/
They were the ones/ Up against this wall/
It’s only a matter of time/ Before I become one/

Have you ever felt so alone/ Yet so alive/
It’s like cutting open hearts except I don’t bleed out/ I just feast on the blood inside/
A quiet paranoia plaguing me its kept me hostage with a gun up to my head yelling, “Where’s the money”, but I try to calm him down with the words I’m writing down/ No it’s not a ransom note, but an attempt to keep my brains from off the ground/
Ahh/ I can breathe/ Maybe that’s the underlining feeling that we need/
A sense of surety between our fear and what’s profound in this life that we have found to call our own and stick around/
If you’re just like me/ Don’t loose your ground/
One day you’re gonna see/ That the person that you feared/
Will finally set you free/
