Breaking

The strings inside my head are begging to be torn apart. That paper-thin charade of rotting worthless reasons keeping us alive.

Take ‘em away

Take ‘em away

These lies won’t save me from breaking.

They’re crawling in my brain, they whisper somber lullabies. And I can’t get away.

I’m trapped beneath pieces left of my disguise.

Take it away

Take it away

Don’t try to keep me from breaking.

Liquid sound and quiet light.

The noise inside is fighting to survive tonight. Empty thoughts and empty skies.

I found the broken dreamer’s paradise inside.

Gonna make you love me, gonna take it all away. Gonna make you love me, gonna make it hurt.

The cogs inside my head are making a familiar sound. That dreadful serenade of rusty bolts and pieces falling to the ground.

Ticking away

Ticking away

There’s no time to save me from breaking
