lyrics

Please believe
I don’t ever want to be the reason
That you can’t sleep at night
But don’t you know that lately
I’ve been, wrestling with my demons
I keep them tucked between my teeth
And they scream so loud that I can’t breathe.

I can bite my lip and hold my tongue
Resist the urge to cut and run away
Can’t you see I’m fine? I’ve just lost my mind
It hasn’t done me much good these days.

That’s right
I’m coming down tonight
That’s right
I’m on the other side of hope
When it’s gone, it’s gone
I’ll race you down to the bottom
Bottom, yeah.

My motivation, is a fear of standing still,
That this racing heart will stop in this very spot
And protest in the face of
A feeling
That there’s some joke that I’m not in on
That there’s a secret language spoken by the general population.

Well,
I’m mute - I’m deaf - I’m blind - I’m dumb.
This world it’s got me by the tongue again.
Let’s pretend I’m fine cuz I don’t mind
If you want to see just how far I can bend.

That’s right
I’m coming down tonight
That’s right
I’m on the other side of hope
When it’s gone, it’s gone
I’ll race you down to the bottom
Bottom, yeah.
