Assemblage 23 - Collapse lyrics

I'm on the verge of collapse I'm on the brink of disaster And I'm far more lost than I want to admit I'm at the end of my rope I'm on the edge of a breakdown And no matter how tightly I hold on, I still slip And you're watching me die Right in front of your eyes And if you turned your back on me I wouldn't be surprised There's no new story to tell It's every man for himself As brick by brick We construct our own personal hell I'm running out of time I'm running short of options And the desperation is chewing me up inside I've got nowhere to go I've got no one to turn to Just accelerating, inescapable decline And you're watching me die Right in front of your eyes And if you turned your back on me I wouldn't be surprised There's no new story to tell It's every man for himself As brick by brick We construct our own personal hell I'm suffocating with guilt Asphyxiating on panic And I can't shake off this fear with which I'm bound I'm buried up to my neck I'm sinking under the water And the next wave could be the one that brings me down And you're watching me die Right in front of your eyes And if you turned your back on me I wouldn't be surprised There's no new story to tell It's every man for himself As brick by brick We construct our own personal hell
