I often wish my thoughts would stop flooding out of my head
Or the feelings in my heart would come bursting out of my chest
Cause every time I speak I'm overthinking what I said
Its suffocating playing all my cards this close to the vest

Every day I wear a mask just like everyone else
When underneath we're fuckin' screaming clearly crying for help
every night I fight the thoughts of unaliving myself but
I'll still smile in your face and put my woes on the shelf

I'm breaking down
Tear me open now
Let the flooding of feeling finally drown me out
Cause I'm breaking down
Can you hear me now?

Surely something can beat this duality
Coming out of me
Give me therapy
Or fill me with amphetamines
cnd nicotine
To feed what lives inside me
This anxiety
Coming out of me
Is killing me
I know that all this apathy
Consuming me
Is a soft and silent tragedy

Social graces are king
Its too taboo to be real
Don't you burden those around you
With the things that you feel
Fuck your life, your emotions
cnd your sensitive soul
Bite your tongue and try to
Learn a little bit of control

I'm breaking down
Tear me open now
Let the flooding of feeling finally drown me out
Cause I'm breaking down
Can you hear me now?

Surely something can beat this duality
Coming out of me
Give me therapy
Or fill me with amphetamines
cnd nicotine
To feed what lives inside me
This anxiety
Coming out of me
Is killing me
I know that all this apathy
Consuming me
Is a soft and silent tragedy

I'm breaking down
Tear me open now
Let the flooding of feeling finally drown me out
Cause I'm breaking down
Can you hear me now?

Surely something can beat this duality
Coming out of me
Give me therapy
Or fill me with amphetamines
cnd nicotine
To feed what lives inside me
This anxiety
Coming out of me
Is killing me
I know that all this apathy
Consuming me
Is a soft and silent tragedy
