lyrics

I am walking down a line that’s sure to drain me of all the warmth I carry with me in the pocket of my shirt
time flies since the sunset has me feeling like it’s not a special occasion anymore
now everything is just how it seems and that's why I scream

sometimes my bones feel like they’re gonna break under the weight
of everything that’s pressing down on me
right now my chest is caving in
and I can’t catch my breath
and oh god, I’m so afraid to die

I tried to pull myself back up
but my relentless indecision dragged me with razor teeth
to the bottom of the sea
death of a thousand cuts, I feel so beaten down and weathered by this storm that's hitting from all sides
there’s a cold wind blowing on my skin and I'm facing the only thing I feared
