Held my breath for a while now
Praying to see something worth the wait
Lungs burst open, stomach hollowed out
It took so much to realize I was awake
We were a team of cynical black lungs
Daughters, sons, wild lashing tongues
Hoping to find a better way in to something good
You left and claimed you found love among fiends
Fever dreams, and cowardly machines
Telling yourself you've never felt more free
It's the pressure of this violent estate
Rip out all your insides just to give those monsters a good taste The warpaint's been off for a while now
We had the heart but lacked strength in our hands
But I'll stay close until the sun burns out
And hold on tight until you catch your breath
Then let me down
So calm me down
Calm me down
Calm me down
It always echoes and overwhelms me
Saying, “You've gone and changed
You've gone and changed”
I've been cheated and lost the base of my architecture
Well, I need some sleep, I need some distance
The pit in my chest has stayed so persistent
I've lost my peace and I'm nonexistent
And it's always the same
