[Verse 1]

It’s not my fault that I can’t understand your pain

I’m going round in circles over nothing

Despite the energy I’ve spent on being you

I don’t think it’ll all amount to something

So, please forgive me if I’m seeming far away

It takes a while to find the hard reset key

My body’s broken, and my psyche’s doing worse

At this point, it’d be best if you could end me


[Chorus]

I want to fall apart again

With water in my veins

And ice inside my brain

Oh, I need to crash against the day

A slave to all I make

A teardrop in the lake


[Post-Chorus]

I call


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 2]

It’s been a week since I’ve had a proper meal

And yet my brain still seems content to let me starve

The months just flicker by, I can’t yet bring myself

To cry for the ragged holes they carve

So I apologize for my selfishness

The ways I’ve left you powerless as I retreated back into myself

I’ve been a weight on you, I haven’t paid my dues

You know I don’t deserve your help


[Bridge]

At the end of the universe

There is nothing but the embers of your soul

Listen close to your death drive, there is nothing left in this life

And the gods will know you chose right, but I can see the light


[Chorus]

I want to fall in love again

With lightning in my veins

A storm inside my brain

Oh, I need to claw above the day

To care for all I make

To hear the echoed wake


[Post-Chorus]

I call

When the night is gone

The tides will part

All a testament to fear of moving on

I won’t let you have this one

Not until my collapsing heart turns to rust
