Sinking, Flying

I didn't get any sleep last night

But that's not why I'm tired

I'm sick and still behind the doors

I've always wanted to kick down

Nobody knows that I'm here

I don't think anyone cares

Under the lashes

Afraid of smudging the lines

No one to tell I'm crying

Get me out, get me in

I'm terrified of sinking

I'm here

But I don't know why

Behind the fashion

Of this scene

That's grown so nauseous

Before the clapping hands

Of scripts

That feel so cautious

Get me out, get me in

I'm terrified of flying

I'm here

But I don't know why
