lyrics

My life's in reverse
and my fears are in drive
I'm lost in the thoughts still of being alive
I want to be happy
I want to smile
I want to love people and stay for awhile.

I keep biting the skin off the tips of my fingers
I've been letting life throw me in through the ringer,
I don't fight anymore as a conscious objector.
I'm blinded by monsters without these reflectors.

It all falls apart
Just way too soon,
It’ll be fucking difficult to make it to June.
I still want the happy
I still need to smile
But I’m finding it hard to stay for a while.

I keep biting the skin off the tips of my fingers
I've been letting life throw me in through the ringer,
I don't fight anymore as a conscious objector.
I'm blinded by monsters without these reflectors.

What do you want from me?
Why won’t you let me be?
Would you even care?
If I wasn’t here.

Faded and exhausted.
My insecurities blossomed
into the weeds that choke me out
and strip me of what was devout
Oh what was devout
My mind commits treason
wages war with no reason
I try to comprehend these things
Like a puppet picking at the strings.
Like a puppet picking at the strings.

Why am I here?
What is my purpose?
I’m trying to decide if all this is worth it

I feel so defeated
but know that I’m needed
So I’ll hold on to hope til hope has succeeded.
I feel so defeated
But know I am needed.

Faded and exhausted.
My insecurities blossomed
into the weeds that choke me out
and strip me of what was devout
Oh what was devout
My mind commits treason
wages war with no reason
I try to comprehend these things
Like a puppet picking at the strings.
Like a puppet picking at the strings.
A puppet picking at the strings!
A PUPPET PICKING AT THE STRINGS!
