lyrics

Things have always been this way
Not sure there’s any blame to place
I’ve let it rule for way too long
And tried to keep it off my face

My world is inside
The weight of my pride
Regret is my guide
Nowhere to hide

It’s working to appease
But killing what was me
At least there a time when a sliver of light could be seen
I’d hold it close until it faded
My fondest memories
My tiny little waves in a sea of despondency

The change is in my eyes
Reflection doesn’t lie
This feeling, all that’s left is a sigh

My insides are tangled
and already beyond capacity
But they just keep swelling
and I just keep pouring it in

Inside, outside
Nothing feels the same
I’ve been shoving it down, letting it rot
This compost of my life
Shaking me, breaking me
It will never die
Backlogged, stacked high
Another needle in my eye

Let me show you why
