[Verse 1]
I've felt too much and I'm turning numb
Like a worn-out knife, I've become so dull
It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
And far harder with no armour to be human

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep pouring myself into songs
Am I running out by living on?
I can still hear him say
'It's better to burn out than fade away'

[Chorus]
I'm starting to waste away
A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet
The twists and turns, they're beating me down
I'm following steps blindly
Tied down, confined to the routine
The pages turn but it's always the same

[Verse 2]
Someone give me direction
Someone give me a sign
I feel no connection just walking the line
Cause it's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
And far harder with no armour to be human
[Bridge]
It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
And far harder with no armour to be human

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep pouring myself into songs
Am I running out by living on?
I can still hear him say
'It's better to burn out than fade away'

[Chorus]
I'm starting to waste away
A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet
The twists and turns, they're beating me down
I'm following steps blindly
Tied down, confined to the routine
The pages turn but it's always the same

[Outro]
