Twist around as the sun drowns
Stick pills in your mouth and go to bed
We're not doing this again
We ain't got the time
You keep me locked up in your broken mind
And I keep searching never to find
A light behind your eyes
You keep living in your own lies
Keeping me guessing, keeping me terrified
Lock me in, knock me out talking like you do
You can't exist within your own head
So you insist on haunting mine
You take everything from my world then
Say, "Please help me?" right before you fall again
Keep me dumb, keep me paralyzed and I wonder why...
Why keep swimming when I'm drowning?
You're not the saint you externalize to be and
You spit out the hateful
Using your words formed as weapons against me.
