lyrics

Wandering down a spiral of myself
Notice all the imperfections
You've got yours
I've got mine
But sometimes they eclipse any value I once saw
Leaving no room to breathe under this mess
Seek comfort
Lock the doors
Seclusion

I feel a pressure build beneath my skin
Yet to subside
Claustrophobic
Walls are closing in
Nowhere to hide

I'm in the background just a passerby
So why is it I just can't play the part
Another animal that's born to die
And I call this home

I spend so much time trying to get far away from you
But it seems like wherever I went there's a way you knew
Repeating a lie doesn't inherently make it true
But I still waste the energy trying to fake it through

This whole illusion should be paper thin
But still I'm blind
Claustrophobic
Walls are closing in
Nowhere to hide

Nowhere to hide

I'm in the background just a passerby
So why is it I just can't play the part
Another animal that's born to die
And I call this home

Still, I've come so far
Yesterday's too late

So long, this is where I follow through
So long, this is where I go
