[Verse 1]
The world's speeding past me
Over-caffeinated, crashing
Into things that'll never last
And all my self created symptoms
Always searching for a reason
Why I'm stuck living in the past
I can't sing through a heart attack

[Pre-Chorus]
The more that I follow, the passages deep inside my head
It's harder to swallow, just looking for some comfort in the dread

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind
I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening
I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide
Pushing black and white into a prism of light

[Drop]
Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just—
Trying to break out, I, I'm-where—
Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just—
Trying to break out, t-trying to break—

[Verse 2]
Oh, my life is glazed in roses
But my mind is straight neurosis
Why do we hide in the bitter pills
Waiting to find the strawberry fields
[Pre-Chorus]
The more that I follow, the passages deep inside my head
It's harder to swallow, just looking for some comfort in the dread

[Chorus]
I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind
I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening
I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide
Pushing black and white into a prism of light

[Drop]
Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just—
Trying to break out, I, I'm-where—
I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind, I'm just—
Trying to break out, t-trying to break out

[Bridge]
I've been dreaming for so long in black and white
Trying to dodge the headlights and read between the lines
Find some secret code I couldn't see, a miracle to set me free
Just praying that it's all in my head
I'm just—

[Drop]
Trying to break out, t-trying to break out, I'm just—
Trying to break out, t-trying out—, I'm just—
[Outro]
I'm just trying to break out of the haze I thought I left behind
I'm a nervous listener, but I'm listening (I'm listening)
I've been filling the spaces, places where I always used to hide
Pushing black and white into a prism of light
