I tried, you know, just to tow the line

Love all the neighbors and live in the light

Sure I stumbled sometimes

Self-contained, a convenient lie

Every source of pain, every sting of pride had to come from the outside

But you, you won't even fight me fair

Wait for the darkness, catch me unaware

Yeah, you pull me close

Then you twist the knife

I don't wanna live with the kinds of trouble I keep finding myself in

Mirror to my left, and mirror to my right

A void stretching out on either side

Is it your face or mine?

Try to leave a mark, we carve our names

All cornered animals behave the same then get eaten alive

So that's it

I wash my hands, cut my ties to the world and its vicious appetites

Yes I am ready to die

Yeah, I'm ready, I'm ready to die

I don't wanna live with the kinds of trouble I keep finding myself in

Yeah, something’s gotta give when the water keeps on rising and the walls are closing in

How long can I keep this tired act together?

It's a short ambulance ride and then the waiting room forever

So tell me how do I make the right move now?

Prepare me for the moment when my mind goes out

Just trying hard to follow the sound

You won't even fight me fair

Wait for the darkness catch me unaware, then you twist the knife
