from The Wreckage, The Yield, And A Place I Can Crawl Up From (August 17th 2018) (3:04)
And the sun that blares my head to ring
Is just the light that hangs from the ceiling, I left it on again
All the mirrors facing me once more
Bent and impossible to ignore, they turn me off again
Sh-sh-she says, "You only believe you need this"
And yes I do, I do
I-I-I say, "I can be invincible or just a dimmer shade of this"
She said,
"You can't do this forever"
And I said, "I don't need forever"
I'm trading ages for a chance to breathe and a temporary silence
I rent the person that I used to be with no regard for the expense
I can save myself another day, gotta find some way to make it
Gonna take another shot today, gonna find some way to break it
Break it, go
(She said "you only believe you need this" and yes I do, I do
I said "I can be invincible or just a dimmer shade of this"
She said "you only believe you need this" and yes I do, I do
I said "I can be invincible or just a dimmer shade of this")
(You can't do this forever, you can't do this forever)
(I'm trading ages for a chance to breathe and a temporary silence
I rent the person that I used to be with no regard for the expense
I can save myself another day, gotta find some way to make it
Gonna take another shot today, gonna find some way to break it, break it, go)
They turn me off again
Is just the light that hangs from the ceiling, I left it on again
All the mirrors facing me once more
Bent and impossible to ignore, they turn me off again
