Dehumanized ourselves for too long

No shame in the pain we've felt

In spite of it our backs have held strong

Won't return to a false promise of hope

Is it why you grind away at me huh?

Steal my youth, steal my sanity

You've tried to take it all away from me

Leave me stuck in the make believe

Set yourself free

Crawl with me through the ticks and the filth

To the sea of wealth beyond the green

Crawl with me on your hands and knees

So we can find the strength to breathe easy

Crawl with me through the ticks and the filth

To the sea of wealth beyond the green

Crawl with me on your hands and knees

So we can find the strength to breathe easy

(I can't let go)

An evolution of self through the breakdown of structures you knew so well

I'll be just fine, they say it heals with time

I'm terrified that I'm running out of mine

No I can't let go

I can't let go

I'm sick to death of all the talk of the drugs and how we're so fucked up

Like we haven't lost enough already

A fall from grace, no point in saving face

Admit the fault so we can start again

And crawl with me through the ticks and the filth

To the sea of wealth beyond the green

Crawl with me on your hands and knees

So we can find the strength to breathe easy

I'll tear down the facade that I've made

That's been replacing my face with a mask of pain

Let go of the poison that's been keeping us awake

(I can't let go)

I have to let go

I'm repressing the person I know I can be

I'm trying but failing, just want to be free

I'm regressing, becoming who you said I would be

Just let me leave, I need to breathe, Don't try to rescue me
