lyrics

I thought that I could come to terms
with not knowing where I’m going
Maybe if I choose a path
there’d be no wreckage in my wake

but I’m awake and it’s a lie
to think that anyone should care
they say you first must love yourself
but I’m just too self-aware

oh take me to a time when I did not know
all the joys in life were things I could let go
so let’s start the show
put your smile on
hold emotion back
we all must bear the splintered cross
it’s a violence that we hold inside
until it burns too hot to hide

I feel the world constrict around me
force the air out from my lungs
even as the night surrounds me
I still long to see the sun

‘cause I’m awake and it’s a lie
to say that no one ever cared
but if you never let them in
they will never know you’re scared

oh take me to a time when I did not know
all the joys in life were things I could let go
so let’s start the show
put your smile on
hold emotion back
we all must bear the splintered cross
it’s a violence that we hold inside
until it burns too hot to hide

how do you breathe under the water
as you spiral to the floor
do you ignore the sea around you
as the pressure demands more
how do you breathe?
how do you breathe?

oh take me to a time when I did not know
all the joys in life were things I could let go
so let’s start the show
put your smile on
hold emotion back
we all must bear the splintered cross
it’s a violence that we hold inside
until it burns too hot to hide
