MY BODY ISN’T MINE
IF I HAVE NO SAY OVER MY INSIDES
SO TELL ME WHAT I LIKE
YOU’LL DECIDE IT EITHER WAY
BUT NO THIS TIME
DO YOU
DO YOU THINK THAT I’M DUMB?
DO YOU THINK THAT I BELONG
SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN BESIDE YOU?
AT NIGHT I DON’T SLEEP
I’VE STARTED COLLECTING WORRIES ABOUT FAILURE
I THINK ABOUT THEM ONE BY ONE
NOT BY HUMAN POTENTIAL
BUT MY POTENTIAL TO GO UNDER
DO YOU
DO YOU WANT TO BE THE ONE
WHO WOULD RATHER WATCH ME RUN
THAN BE SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN BESIDE YOU?
I DON’T WANT TO RAISE A CHILD WITH MY EYES CLOSED
MAKE MONEY ON SOMETHING I DON’T CARE ABOUT
QUIT LOOKING AT ME LIKE THERE’S SOMETHING THAT I’M MISSING
QUIT LOOKING AT ME LIKE I DON’T KNOW WHAT MY LIFE IS
BE THE LIGHT

YESTERDAY I PULLED MYSELF APART
FROM EVERYONE I’VE EVER KNOWN
AND AS I SMOOTHED THE TINY SHARDS
PARCELS OF ME I THOUGHT HAD GROWN
I FOUND THAT THEY NO LONGER FIT
TOGETHER OR ALONE
AND I WAS LEFT ALONE
TO FILL IN ALL THE GAPS AND HOLES
I’M TOLD THAT I’M TOO SENSITIVE
THAT’S JUST A WAY FOR YOU TO GATE ME
WHAT YOU THINK I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP
OR MASTERBATE BY BLINKING?
WELL I’D RATHER HAVE BIG FEELINGS
THAN A GIANT FUCKING HOLE INSIDE ME CHEST
THAT YOU TRY SO HARD TO FILL
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE YOU’VE OPPRESSED
SAY IT BACK:
WILL THINGS GET BETTER?

I CAN'T AFFORD TO FEEL
TAKE EVERYTHING I WANTED AWAY
LET'S START IT OVER MAKE A NEW DEAL
THIS TIME AROUND I'M THE ONE BEHIND THE WHEEL
I'M GREAT
I'M HOLDING MY HEAD UP
I'M LETTING GO THE WAYS I'M NOT ENOUGH
WAVE TO MYSELF FROM THE LIGHT I FOUND IT
I'LL BE THE ONE WHO IS FULLY GROUNDED
TAKE ON THE BIG REVEAL
THAT EVERYTHING IS NOTHING
AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT THAT'S REAL
BUT WHAT YOU CHOSE TO MAKE
AND WHO YOU WANT TO BE THE ONES TO STAND BESIDE YOU
I'M GREAT
I'M HOLDING MY HEAD UP
I'M LETTING GO THE WAYS I'M NOT ENOUGH
WAVE TO MYSELF FROM THE LIGHT I FOUND IT
I'LL BE THE ONE WHO IS FULLY GROUNDED

I THOUGHT I COULD FOLLOW THIS FEELING
VISIONS CAN LEAD TO DELUSION
I THOUGHT I WOULD LOVE YOU LIKE I WAS SUPPOSE TO
BUT WHEN THE SMOKE SCREEN CLEARED
I HIT THE PAVEMENT RUNNING
NOTHING EVER FELT LIKE
NOTHING EVER FELT LIKE THIS
IN MY DREAMS
LUCID DESIRE CAN BE HEALING
OR A HEAD GAME ONCE IT’S REVEALED
WHEN YOUR MIND PROJECTS WHAT IT WANTS ON A PERSON
HOW COULD IT FEEL?
NOTHING EVER FELT LIKE
NOTHING EVER FELT LIKE THIS
IN MY DREAMS
OH, BENEATH MY FEET
THE EARTH FALLS BENEATH ME
I’M SWIMMING UNDERNEATH
WHERE THE LANGUAGE IS HEAVY
I WANT IT TO BE EASY
I’M KEEPING TO THE SURFACE
SO NOTHING CAN TAKE ME
OR WANT ME
EXCEPT FOR
IN MY DREAMS

WE ALL RAN AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
MOM TOOK US TO A PLACE WHERE WE COULD HIDE
II NEVER WANT TO REPEAT THIS LIFE
SO I FOUND SOMETHING TO KEEP ME HERE
I STEPPED INTO A RIVER AND I STAYED THERE
I FOUND SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE MINE
SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME FEEL SAFE ALL THE TIME
JUMPED IN THE LAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
WITH THE ONES I CHOSE TO COMPLETE MY LIFE
I’M NEVER GONNA LET THEM TAKE OUR LIGHT
I FOUND SOMETHING THAT FEELS LIKE MINE
SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME FEEL SAFE ALL THE TIME

I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I RUN THROUGH ALL THE SPACES
I CAN CHANGE WITH MY MIND
I CLOSE MY EYES
MAYBE IT’S ALL JUST IN MY HEAD
DOESN’T HURT TO WANDER BACK
I OPEN EVERY DOOR I SHOULD HAVE LEFT BEHIND
MAYBE IT’S JUST LIKE IT USE TO BE
MAYBE IT ISN’T RIGHT FOR RIGHT NOW
I’M CHANNELING PLACES I WANT TO BE TONIGHT
TAKE ME BACK TO THAT OLD FAMILIAR
LYING IN BED WITH A MEMORY
IT DON’T FEEL SWEET BUT IT DON’T FEEL BITTER
JUST TRYING TO FIND THE DOOR TO THAT KEY
PICTURES PAINTED ON MY EYELIDS
LIKE A PATCHWORK OF MY LIFE
AND ALL THE DAYS GONE BY
I CLOSE MY EYES
AND I RUN THROUGH ALL THE SPACES
I CAN CHANGE WITH MY MIND
I CLOSE MY EYES
MAYBE IT’S ALL JUST IN MY HEAD
DOESN’T HURT TO WANDER BACK
I OPEN EVERY DOOR I SHOULD HAVE LEFT BEHIND
MAYBE IT’S JUST LIKE IT USE TO BE
MAYBE IT ISN’T RIGHT FOR RIGHT NOW
I’M TRAVELING PLACES I WANT TO BE TONIGHT

I THOUGHT I COULD FIGHT IT
WHAT’S BEEN BUILDING INSIDE
ALWAYS BEEN THERE
ALWAYS CHANGING
EVERYTIME IT COMES AROUND I TRY TO HIDE
YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW
AND EVERYTHING WILL HURT THE SAME WAY
TOMORROW
I WANNA BELIEVE
I WANNA BELIEVE WHAT I WANT TO BELIEVE
I WANNA BELIEVE THINGS GET BETTER
AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
WHERE I NEED YOU THE MOST
I LOOK FOR DIMES INSIDE MY CAR
SO THEY CAN HELP TO PICK ME UP
BEFORE I FALL APART
I WANT IT TO BE THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE
YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW
AND EVERYTHING WILL HURT THE SAME WAY
TOMORROW
YOU WAKE UP TOMORROW
AND EVERYTHING WILL HURT THE SAME WAY
TOMORROW
I WANNA BELIEVE
I WANNA BELIEVE WHAT I WANT TO BELIEVE
I WANNA BELIEVE

I WAS ONCE AN EMPTY TOWN
CREEPING THROUGH THE VINES
TILL THEY ALL WENT SOUTH
I WAS ONCE A BURNING HOUSE
EATING LITTLE LIES
TILL IT ALL CAME DOWN
WOULD YOU LET IT JUST KILL ME?
WOULD YOU LET IT JUST PASS ME BY?
EVEN IF YOU WANT TO BE ALONE
THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE
ALL YOU THOUGHT YOU BURIED WILL COME BACK UP
AND TAKE YOU DOWN FROM INSIDE
I WAS ONCE A QUIET DROUGHT
FAILING ALL THE TEARS
BEGGING TO RUSH OUT
I WAS ONCE A BURNING HOUSE
SWALLOWING ALL LIFE
TILL THERE WAS ONLY GROUND
WOULD YOU LET IT JUST KILL ME?
WOULD YOU LET IT JUST PASS ME BY?
EVEN IF YOU WANT TO BE ALONE
THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE
ALL YOU THOUGHT YOU BURIED WILL COME BACK UP
AND TAKE YOU DOWN FROM INSIDE
ERASE THE DARK PARTS OF MY MIND
I WANT TO BE OPEN LIKE A CHILD
I WAS ONCE A BURNING HOUSE

I WASH THE FLOORS
WHEN I DON’T WANNA THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT’VE HAPPENED
DISSOCIATION
COLORED IN REACTIONS
I REMEMBER YOU SLIDING DOWN THE WALL
WHEN YOU FOUND ME BEFORE THEY COULD TELL ME
THEIR WORDS FOUND THEIR WAY TO MY CELLS
NOW THE PAIN STILL LIVES IN MY BODY
I WANT IT ALL
I WANNA FEEL IT
I WANT IT ALL
I CAN’T HOLD IT ANYMORE
SOMETIMES I WANNA DIE
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE
BUT IT PUSH IT DOWN
TO JUST SQUEAK BY
AND I WONDER WHERE YOU’D BE
IF YOU WERE AROUND
I PUSH IT DOWN
