lyrics

A fear you can’t shake
This feeling, you drowned in the lake
Over night
In your heart
So full of it all
A sickened withdrawal, from the same things that
Made you crawl
On your knees

Carve out my eyes, if it makes you feel better
I can’t tell wrong from right, black from white
It’s all the same, when you’re staring down the barrel of a gun
Can’t remember your own name

Seal up your conscious in that cellophane bag,
You suffocate feelings, all that you had
You don’t need it now, I swear, in the end
It’ll just drag you down

But I don’t wanna feel
Like I’m dragging this weight
Tied at the ankles
And we just can’t relate
One more time now
Just to relieve the pain
I can’t bear

What do we cling to? When all of this is gone
It’s hard to find meaning, when you never belong
You get stuck in one place
The water just rises, fillin’ up inside you

But I don’t wanna feel
Like I’m dragging this weight
Tied at the ankles
And we’re running from fate
One more time now
Just to relieve the pain
I can’t bear

(Bend and you break, yeah you bend and you break)
(Bend and you break, yeah you bend and you break)
