[Verse 1]
I'm here today, just like every yesterday
Heavy heat and the sheets stick to my skin
Can't get away from nothingness
I try to get up but I have to give in

[Verse 2]
To the force that is keeping me down
I overcome gravity, I look outside
A cat cries out, trapped upon a window sill
But is crying's drowned out by my screaming inside

[Chorus]
What will it take?
I wonder what it's like exposed outside, would I be safe?
When will it break?
Try to look out, I see reflection, I just want to break

[Verse 3]
Sirens moan, they're forever crying
Someone's probably dying, the sound sticks inside my head
Talk to myself, I'm company
But who is to say if nothing is said?

[Verse 4]
Two windows stare back at me
Three stories high and nothing is new
And I may sit, but someday I'll stand
I'll muster up the will and fire myself through
[Chorus]
What will it take?
I wonder what it's like exposed outside, would I be safe?
When will it break?
Try to look out, I see reflection, I just want to break

[Chorus]
What will it take?
I wonder what it's like exposed outside, would I be safe?
When will it break?
Try to look out, I see reflection, I just want to break
