lyrics

I put myself out there
a sight for sore eyes
Just to bring myself to my own demise
Let's give this a shot
What could go wrong
I've done this before I've sung this same song

For some reason I keep getting up
It always takes more
than anytime before
It always takes more

Read me as a book
The secrets I'll tell, quicken the process to know me so well

I put myself out there
for you to regret
To remember
To hurt so well
I just don't understand why

Complacent with mistakes
Resisting change
Waiting for another way
To make the same mistakes again
To make the same mistakes again

I tell myself that I don't know why
But I know in my heart the reason that I
Keep trying my best to find happiness and a reason to live

There is no purpose to life
Nothing happens for a reason
Karma does not exist
I've lost sight of my passions and it has lead me to this

Complacent with mistakes
Resisting change
Waiting for another way
To make the same mistakes again
To make the same mistakes again

I'll waste my time making progress until
You figure me out and it all goes downhill
And I slowly return to the low from which came from

I can't tell if I'm asleep or awake
I'm drifting away, these scenes that I make
Different or known of all I create
There's nothing to keep me alone in this place

I'm anxious I can't speak
I'm breathing I can't breathe
My chest feels heavy
Breathing increasing
And I can't hold steady

I broke down my walls
Withdrew my armor
Just as always I'm an open book
Repeat the process
Something's got to give
I can never be myself and
I will never be happy
I will end up just the same as I began
And I
I just give up
