I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
It's been a week since I've opened my eyes, falling further and further out of touch
Steady crave for a drip in my life, another vice i'm abusing too much
Maybe i crave it cause maybe it hurts
Maybe this is less than a life I deserve
Maybe I don't care if I make it much longer
It must be irrational cause it's all in my head
I can't feel anything and I never smile,
Been burning my body in the rain for a while
Craving touches so deep I can't sleep in my own bed anymore
I live in a hole being buried in my shit
pile on the reasons I wish I was dead
Cut the restraints off my mind so I can walk again
I can't keep holding myself together, too many pieces I've already lost
I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out

Times a long drive, roaming your life and you're the only one awake.
A dim future lit by the headlights it's the night you can't escape
I've been running for a bit too long,
I'm not tryin that anymore
Ooh ooh ooooh x2
I'm sorry that I've never been good enough
One step at a time and I keep screwing this up
Living breath to breath isn't worth the rush
When There's nothing for me here
But even now I can't stop trying to find something better
I'm reaching out but there's nothing there
(Oooo)
Am I giving up, or do I just not care?
(Oooo)
And if it was worth starting everything over, another day that I won't stay sober,
Hellbent on holding my breath too long
I'm always guilty of saying too much
There's always something wrong that they see
They all act as if they give a fuck,
And they keep asking
Why are you cryin?
(I've got a rush like I'm late to being sane again)
Why are holding your head down?
(An aging spiral walks me up and wears my mind thin)
I can't believe I've turned myself against my own will, holding the knife to my throat
I don't deserve all the space in your head
Keep Looking for answers I never wanted you to hear
And I hope it was worth the strain i put on your heart
