Burning up can't take the pressure anymore
Digging through the scraps for the bliss you had before
Scorching fingertips light anything they see
Breaking down your brain
Watch for the debris
Persistence is a hard pill to swallow
Choke it down on an empty stomach
Drag you down by the ankles of your will
A ball and chain of grass is shackled to instill
A sense of loathing for your vice
Or is it fear that you'll pay the price
And stay complacent
You tell yourself that you love the feeling
You really just love the escape
You tell yourself that you love the feeling
You really just love the escape
You tell yourself that you love the feeling
You really just love the escape
Black and blue and green and you
Can't seem to step up to the plate
Some things just never change
Succumb and jot it on the page
Lurking in the shadows it's who you are
Every moment's a high speed chase from your reflection
Hide away for your protection
From yourself
From your choices
Drowned out by all the noises
No self control
Only avoidance
I don't wanna do this alone
When the high's an all time low
