Up All Night

It's like I get some validation and this countdown starts And every day that goes by, it gets a little bit harder 'Cause the longer I'm stuck inside my own head The more I'm convinced that there's this unsaid Resentment with every single person I know And I don't wanna go out, and I don't wanna be alone But then I get a little affection and recover and then The whole thing starts all over again I can't sleep, I can't find peace This voice inside won't let me be So knock me out and set me free 'Cause I'm up all night, fight or flight As I hear it scream its foul pride And the sound of fear through its hissing teeth The bone-chilling cold and the suffocating heat I close my eyes and I start to believe in this Artificial, upside-down reflection of me It's like I'm arguing with a toddler each and every day And I can hear that baby cryin' from a mile away Remindin' me of every mistake I ever made And every single person I ever betrayed It won't listen to reason, it won't listen to words The only thing it understands is how to disturb And I try, and I try, and I try to take a slow deep breath But the thought creeps in that I'm one day closer to death I can't sleep, I can't find peace (Ooh, can't find peace) This voice inside won't let me be (Let me be) So knock me out and set me free (Set me free) 'Cause I'm up all night, fight or flight As I hear it scream its foul pride And the sound of fear through its hissing teeth (Ooh, hissing teeth) The bone-chilling cold and the suffocating heat (Suffocating heat) I close my eyes and I start to believe in this (Ooh) Artificial, upside-down reflection of me This life is like a game But the rules were never explained So no one knows what they're doin' But everyone pretends And we act like we're the winners Like we're beatin' out the crowd But the truth is we're all guessin' And I want a second round, whoa Whoa I can't sleep, I can't find peace (Ooh, can't find peace) This voice inside won't let me be (Let me be) So knock me out and set me free (Set me free) 'Cause I'm up all night, fight or flight (Ooh) As I hear it scream its foul pride And the sound of fear through its hissing teeth (Ooh, hissing teeth) The bone-chilling cold and the suffocating heat (Suffocating heat) I close my eyes and I start to believe in this (Ooh) Artificial, upside-down (Ooh) This artificial, upside-down (Ooh) This artificial, upside-down reflection of me
