lyrics

I found it safe to hide between the hidden cracks
Before I found that I was not nearly in tact
I force myself so that I just ignore the fact
I tell myself these words so I can make it last
Just please hold on, oh could you please hold on?

I took for granted all the things that I'd receive
I find it harder now to live than make believe
It's safe to hide in here so that no one can see
A hypocrite who's blinded by his blasphemy
Just please hold on, I've got to tell myself to please hold on

I found myself within the years, withdrawing myself from sullen tears
Is this all I have to show for? My sanity went out the front door
I can't think of anything that'll help me now, self wrecked and dumb
I can't think of anything as it was back then, before, self wrecked and numb

Pull the roots from underneath, discontinued as a seed
I bear no fruits for you to show
Just a pessimist at best, and will forever be oppressed
From all my stagnant years of growth

It's over when you're sober as a saint, chipping paint
Hopefully, you'll see all of my works in vain

I found myself within the years, withdrawing myself from sullen tears
Is this all I have to show for? My sanity went out the front door
I can't think of anything that'll help me now, self wrecked and dumb
I can't think of anything as it was back then, before, self wrecked and numb

I can't stand it, nor comprehend it, I'm self wrecked and abandoned, and I've suffered for far too long
