I spend all day trapped inside my brain, I'd try to escape but I just don't know where to go
Drown myself in books, endure the dirty looks, guilt filled up like a crook on trial or martyr
Failure to the bone, destined to die alone, can't breathe right on your own and now
The world can finally see you as you see yourself

Practice songs for hours, stay home like a coward, bleed out in the shower, crimson red
Swallow all those feelings, misconstruct the meanings, curse that love is fleeting or so your think
Pick which face you're wearing, feel the eyeballs staring, it's so overwhelming
Why can't you just find the words I promise to be true?

I need you
These feelings in my heart are bleeding through
So I need you to feel alright, is that alright?
