lyrics

Here I go, I’m at Beth Israel hospital
And I feel the beating chests of everyone who’s breathing like me
The woman with the lanyard asks a question, she says
With skin this dull, do you see the sun at all?
The truth is, I’ve spent so long hiding under my sheets,
I shield myself with fantasy, I’m sheathed in sleep
I can’t hear anyone, what are they telling me?

They say you think too much
Yeah someone’s always on your mind.
I gotta roll the dice
And hope that I can breathe tonight
They say you only live once
But I’ve lived a thousand times
In different skin than mine
And it’ll never fit just right

Cavities, rotting teeth from secrets that I keep
Then I smell the antiseptic all I think is
It might as well be formaldehyde to me
With each breath, asthmatic lungs of earth grow older
Fluorescent lights breaking my skin as gravity pulls me deeper
With weighted limbs, I turn my head and I see them

I don’t know what warranted my wallow
But I know my destiny’s decay
I won’t give into the fear of falling
I refuse to spend my time wasting away

I believe I’ll live another day
