[Intro]

Over the same line

(Peak clarity I promised)

Habits I can't fight

(Brick walls to stack these convictions)


[Verse 1]

A full circle moment you laid with me

The bitter taste of regret

Pulling out my teeth just for the hell of it

Small talk, so heavy hearted

Inches, of tyranny bloomed right past in front of me in a landslide

I'm constantly trying not to step back-


[Chorus]

Over the same line

(Peak clarity I promised)

Habits I can't fight

(Brick walls to stack these convictions)

Don't wanna be

Stuck in a key

Let it go but you took it back more

Static noise to shake, up my efforts

Well you got me right where you want me


[Verse 2]

A change of pace

Might do me better than where I've been in the last year

I will always hate

My old deluded sense of mind that I have

Latched onto

I wish you could be honest with yourself

Lately, sitting alone for the comfort I find-


[Chorus]

Over the same line

(Peak clarity I promised)

Habits I can't fight

(Brick walls to stack these convictions)

Don't wanna be

Stuck in a key

Let it go but you took it back more

Static noise to shake, up my efforts


[Bridge]

Well you got me right where you want me

Well you got me right where you want me

Well you got me

Well you got me

A free fall, guilt trip, I don't deserve

Another deep set state to calm my nerves

Head first into this solid ground


[Bridge 2]

A free fall, guilt trip, I don't deserve

Another deep set state to calm my nerves

Head first into this solid ground

Over the same line

(Peak clarity I promised)

Habits I can't fight

(Trying not to step back)


[Final Chorus]

Over the same line

(Peak clarity I promised)

Habits I can't fight

(Brick walls to stack these convictions)

Don't wanna be

Stuck in a key

Let it go but you took it back more

Static noise to shake, up my efforts
