Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
I've broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything
[Verse 2]
Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well. I had been broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting further from my memories
And then you take it away
[Chorus]
Everyday that I'm fighting 'cause I can't breathe in
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight, I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down
[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
You tell me, what's my name?
I'm the same, I've just been rearranged
Smile through a joke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide
[Verse 4]
Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
Well, I had been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me
And then you take it away
[Chorus]
Everyday that I'm fighting 'cause I can't breathe in
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight, I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down
[Chorus]
Pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it, yeah
Just a little bit higher, then I come back down
Climbing over people 'cause I've done nothing
I'm waiting, I'm waiting around
[Verse 5]
Sometimes you find yourself waiting
Waiting for someone to come around
And it's hopeless, hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says, you're perfect, my love
And I, I know why, I know why, I know why
[Refrain]
But you said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said, I don't know, you don't know
[Refrain]
You said, I don't know
You said, I don't know
You said, I don't know, you don't know
[Refrain]
You said, I don't know
You said, I don't know
You said, I don't know, you don't know
[Refrain]
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
You said I don't know
[Outro]
So take it away, yeah
When you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
Lying near where I slayed my hero, yeah
What you need is higher than your shame
