Handsome today, the light reflecting the grey
Still three beats away from the end
These selfish walls are keeping me bound
To a room where I'll drown in myself
I’ve chosen my strife and It’s barely a life
but it suits who I’ve chosen to be
I’ll never be free but I know that I’m me
and the grief slashes me like a knife
Rest my head I’m better off in bed
Even though that the pain just won’t sleep
Tired eyes telling the truest lies
To a consciousness that's in it this deep
Rest my head I’m better off in bed
Even though that the truth just won’t sleep
Tired eyes telling the truest lies
To a consciousness that's in it this deep
The pain subsides just enough to deny that this will happen all over again
The pain subsides just enough to deny that this will happen all over again
The pain subsides just enough to deny that this will happen all over again
The pain subsides
The pain subsides
The pain subsides
The pain subsides
The pain subsides
The pain subsides
The pain
The pain
The pain
Fading today, the dark consuming the day
and two beats away from the end
These intuitive walls are pushing me down
In a room where I'll drown in my selfishness
Rest my head I’m better off in bed
Even though that the pain just won’t sleep
Tired eyes telling the truest lies
To a consciousness that's in it this deep
Rest my head I’m better off in bed
Even though that the truth just won’t sleep
Tired eyes telling the truest lies
To a consciousness that's in it this deep
