lyrics

If pain is temporary, then why does it never seem to fade?
There’s nothing ordinary, about the way I analyze my pain.
This face bears desperation and the heart is evidently drained.
It’s running out, but there’s still time.

Just lay me down and keep the world outside.
Don’t keep these secrets. There’s nothing left to hide.
Locked in seclusion, it feels like I’ve already died.
If I’m in limbo, then there must be more to decide.
There’s something left.

If loss is filled with regret, my glass is forever overflown.
Suggestions, meant to forget. My loss is the rest of the world’s gain.
I’m sick of consequences. Can’t stop transgressions at the source.
Give up on breaking down these walls.

Just lay me down and keep the world outside.
Don’t keep these secrets. There’s nothing left to hide.
Locked in seclusion, it feels like I’ve already died.
If I’m in limbo, then there must be more to decide.
There’s something left.

Cover this body with dirt.
Leave me here in the earth.
I needed you like a house needs a fire to burn.
I’ll never learn.

Just lay me down and keep the world outside.
Don’t keep these secrets. There’s nothing left to hide.
Locked in seclusion, it feels like I’ve already died.
If I’m in limbo, then there must be more to decide.
There’s something left.
