You’re a person
With a heart
Behind your agitation
I know
It consumes you
As you hide
Within your false expectations

They tell you that you don’t belong
Here anymore
Same old people that beg forgiveness
In the end, they just want what’s yours

No one really hides alone

They all lie to themselves
As you have long before
Unreciprocation
They adore what you say
Yet you’re crying alone
Unreciprocation

You change when I’m not around
As it’s all said and done
Yeah, you never were strong
Wear their eyes for acceptance
They won’t fit you for what you are

No one really hides alone

This story’s been written a thousand times over
Yet you still choose to walk alone
You can bleed yourself dry just to find rejection
From the ones held closest

You lean towards
A hopeful lie
Making friends out of people you met in your mind
I made you
Yet you drag me down
To the level your friends wouldn’t mind to see

You lean towards
A hopeful lie
Making friends out of people you met in your mind
I made you
Yet you drag me down
To the level your friends wouldn’t mind to see

You’re upset
Sour bread?
That kid
Huffing glue
While his mother
Teaches you

Exhausted like
Rats inside a maze

Know your place
Acting face
Conceal your smile
For the sake of
Pity

Exhausted like
Rats inside a maze

They’re all just trying to survive
But no one’s shown them how to
Nobody’s got the time
To see you crawling, whining

They’re all just trying to survive
But no one’s shown them how to
Nobody’s got the time
To see you crawling, whining

The time will pass anyway
Buildings burn and loved ones go
You can wallow in self-pity
But the time will only reek of solemn starkness

They’re all just trying to survive
But no one’s shown them how to
Nobody’s got the time
To see you crawling, whining

Sometimes it’s better to live
With the friends inside your head
Forget those days you longed for
Your desires will not exist
Forget your name
They couldn’t care
Lost in self-infatuation
There’s always dire situations

Don’t try to find your lover
You bite my cheek and call it love
I never claimed to know you
Tell me something new I haven’t heard before

Your love is dead
The people don’t want it anymore
You believed in promises
Though you’ve never held your word
Empty charity cases
I’ve grown to be complacent
Yet still you wonder why you’re alone

Don’t try to find your lover
You bite my cheek and call it love
I never claimed to know you
Tell me something new I haven’t heard before

Storms within the sea
Birds always fly together
Burn your flags and flee
Only cowards need revolution
To live in a home
With their barren selves
Fall away from your imagined life
That’s not right
Right?

I never wanted to know you
Trying to respect myself
Salvation leads to nowhere
Impossible people here again
To make believe
You’re not gone after all

Why?
Don’t think I’ve noticed?
I’ve
Fulfilled my promise
My
Impression of you
Has failed
Can you be trusted?

I don’t need you around
But you’re all that I’ve found lately
Like a kind of drug
With whom I surround myself
Yeah

I hope
To know you’re going
Alone
You know I’m waiting for you
I know
You’ll make a reason
Before
You’ve left me out dry

I don’t need you around
But you’re all that I’ve found lately
Like a kind of drug
With whom I surround myself

When I told you
You’ve always ignored me
And now I stand on my own
You adore me
Have I disgraced you?
How I upheld you…

You melt
In lies
And I don’t know myself no more
Don’t run
Or hide
I’m not looking anymore

Stare at me across the room
You don’t excite me any longer
Unchanging days keep moving on
You don’t excite me any longer

Tell me that you want me
I feel like I don’t have a choice
Nobody can stand it
But cannot bear to hear the noise

You lean your head
On my shoulder
We walk away the same two strangers
You get attached
My shallow boredom
’Cause I just want you on your own

Stare at me across the room
You don’t excite me any longer
Unchanging days keep coming on
You don’t excite me any longer

Tell me that you want me
I feel like I don’t have a choice
Nobody can stand it
But cannot bear to hear the noise

I follow you
You lead me on
I look the other way
You still remain the same

Don’t look for me
You did nothing wrong
You’ve got no other way
You can
Only entertain
