lyrics
You breathe it out and you breathe it in
But feel the dark thoughts still pressing in
You feel the time warp and slip away
You let your mind steal another day
But there’s a comfort mixed with that fear
You won't be scared when you are not here
You've never been in a rush to leave
But simply don’t want to have to grieve anymore
You breathe it out and you breathe it in
But feel the darkness still pressing in
You feel it all till you can’t feel at all
You feel it all till you can’t feel at all
Then there’s comfort when you're numb to fear
But with no feelings why even be here?
We wouldn’t sing if there was no sound
But all these bouncing thoughts are far too loud
Why can’t we just find that middle ground
Oh why can’t we just find that middle ground anymore
But feel the dark thoughts still pressing in
You feel the time warp and slip away
You let your mind steal another day
But there’s a comfort mixed with that fear
You won't be scared when you are not here
You've never been in a rush to leave
But simply don’t want to have to grieve anymore
You breathe it out and you breathe it in
But feel the darkness still pressing in
You feel it all till you can’t feel at all
You feel it all till you can’t feel at all
Then there’s comfort when you're numb to fear
But with no feelings why even be here?
We wouldn’t sing if there was no sound
But all these bouncing thoughts are far too loud
Why can’t we just find that middle ground
Oh why can’t we just find that middle ground anymore
