[Verse 1]

Someday I'll be gone

Why do I wait this long?

Finding solace in this strain

Lost the thing that keeps me sane

Everything I love

Guess it’s not that much

I'm wishing for just one

Before I come undone

[Chorus]

I know self-destruction exists

Because from it I am built

Yet the cycle still persists

Now I'm reeling from the guilt

And just like a cicada

Sick inside of my own skin

I crawl outside of myself

To sing, to sing

[Verse 2]

Years under the ground

I surface for the sun

It shines in too strong

But still I choke out a song

A fickle, fragile life

Tunes etched into my shell

They are all I’ve ever known

Please will someone bring me home?

[Chorus]

I know self-destruction exists

Because from it I am built

Yet the cycle still persists

Now I'm reeling from the guilt

And just like a cicada

Sick inside of my own skin

I crawl outside of myself

To sing, to sing

[Verse 3]

Melodies I spew

From high up in the trees

I enjoy the view

Before I finally freeze

[Bridge]

With blissful ignorance I trill

Until my cords become quite still

I knew that this would be the way

That it ends, I'm just here waiting for the day

And when my body dries

Lay me in the grass

The bugs will burrow in

And dig up every word unsaid

But I don't wanna stay dead

Can I just keep singing instead?

Until they eat all the way through my head
