Everything is a habit
If you do it enough
And by the time you could crack it
It's too late to wake up
And I act like it's perfect
So easy when I sink into place
But I'm trapped in a panic
My crumbling spine
That's suspended in retrograde
I'm tryna make changes
But I keep breaking in the same damn place
I'm tryna save it
But I keep making all the same mistakes
Is it all in my head?
Sabotaging myself
I'm tryna make changes
But I'm making it worse instead
Crawling under the covers
Burying my face
Don't have to think about my failed attempts
If I'm not awake
But I drift in and out
I'm losing all control of my brain
Only way to recover
Is breaking the windows
To let in the rain
I'm tryna make changes
But I keep breaking in the same damn place
I'm tryna save it
But I keep making all the same mistakes
Is it all in my head?
Sabotaging myself
I'm tryna make changes
But I'm making it worse instead

I gave my mind away
Defects and stains on display
But your heart is in a cage
Well secrets, they won’t keep you safe
Reality
Is at our feet
And we can’t keep on running
Oh let me see
The thoughts that creep in
When no one is watching you
Show me the horror films playing in your head
All of the darkest fears you’ve left unsaid
The shadows that shake you awake in the night
Show me your haunted side and I’ll show you mine
You know I see them too
They’ll get me if I try to move
The voices in my room
Are the same ones that whisper to you
Reality
Is at our feet
And we can’t keep on running
Oh let me see
The thoughts that creep in
When no one is watching you
Show me the horror films playing in your head
All of the darkest fears you’ve left unsaid
The shadows that shake you awake in the night
Show me your haunted side and I’ll show you mine
Show me how the eyes glow
Waking up your blood’s cold
Crawling on the ceiling
No one hears you screaming
Show me the horror films playing in your head
All of the darkest fears you’ve left unsaid
The shadows that shake you awake in the night
Show me your dark side and I’ll show you mine

Collateral Damage

You want someone to save ya
From all your bad behavior
You want me to mop up the mess
That you made in your head again
Policing all my problems
So I’m not putting pressure on ya
You just wanna talk bout yourself
While you wait for my help again
Everytime I patch you up
I’m the one that’s getting cut, well
I’m not collateral damage
In your broken home
There’s nothing left here to salvage
Nobody you can own
I can’t survive if you’re going up in smoke
Won’t be collateral damage
When you self-implode
Afraid that anything could happen
Can’t win no matter my reaction
Cause you just want feel in control
Something you could hold over me
Everytime I patch you up
I’m the one that’s getting cut, well
I’m not collateral damage
In your broken home
There’s nothing left here to salvage
Nobody you can own
I can’t survive if you’re going up in smoke
Won’t be collateral damage
When you self-implode
You want someone to save ya
From all your bad behavior
I’m not collateral damage
In your broken home
There’s nothing left here to salvage
Nobody you can own
I can’t survive if you’re going up in smoke
Won’t be collateral damage
When you self-implode

Passive

There’s blood on my hands
And it’s staining my roughed up skin
But I can’t pretend
That I’m sorry for what I did
I let your heart bleed out on me
And I didn’t try to patch the seams
Standing there without a care
Like I was watching it on TV
Ooh
Imagine
Being so damn passive
Oh, I’m just existing
Can’t tell what is missing
I tried my best
To recognize myself
But the mirror keeps
Reflecting someone else
Out of body, out of mind
Reality’s too hard to find
Watch myself from faraway
Ignoring all the mess I've made
Ooh
Imagine
Being so damn passive
Oh, I’m just existing
Can’t tell what is missing
So break me down, I wanna have a break down
‘Cause it’s better than walking on a balance beam
Push me down now, push me off the edge now
‘Cause I’m really not holding onto anything
All I feel is apathy
There must be something wrong with me
‘Cause this is never how it was
Supposed to be
I’m becoming someone else
I only care about myself
Monotonous and bored to death
But I don’t want help
Imagine
Being so damn passive
Oh, I’m just existing
Can’t tell what is missing
So break me down, I wanna have a break down
‘Cause it’s better than walking on a balance beam
Push me down now, push me off the edge now
‘Cause I’m really not holding onto anything

Intimidated

Oh let me draw a picture on your back
I’ll make a canvas using my bare hands
And find the tender spot where you retract
The only time I’m in control
I’m not an artist but I’ll do my best
Oh did my skin-top sketch leave you impressed
Cause in my head you’re always tryna test me out
But you’re never sold
And every time I mess up
Every time I mess up
I get a little more intimidated
I’ve got a time bomb ticking in my mind
Feels like I’m always running out of time
Wish I could save up all my wasted nights
And spend them in the bed where you lie
And every time I mess up
Every time I mess up
I get a little more intimidated
How do you keep your heart so casual
I’ve never met someone so comfortable
It’s like you’re never feeling insecure
Your confidence and carelessness
I’m on the edge of losing it
And every time that I’m a mess
I get a little more intimidated
