Hold it together, hold it in
They won't know where to find you
If they don't know where you've been
Let the pressure build up
'Til you're feeling stuck
'Til you feel you might drown
And then swim further down

When the flood gates finally open
And it all comes rushing out
You'll find pieces of yourself
You'd forgotten all about
But they won't fit anymore
So the tide carries them out
And what is left on the shore
Is something broken and impure
