Scratch at the wall, tear it down to the studs

Welcome the plague, overwhelmed by the flood

Ghost in my head take my heart if you must, I'll be damned if I'm losing my soul to your lust

It still feels like nobody's home

It’s too crowded to be here alone

And the pressure builds

And the pressure builds

Head on the chopping block, death on the breeze

A smile ear to ear as I wait on my knees

How many loves do I have to achieve to convince the victims that’s there's nothing to see?

There's no more room on an empty throne

It's too crowded to be here alone

Oh, and the pressure builds

Headed straight for a meltdown

What's the worst that could happen if you fell apart?

What's the worst that could happen breaking for your heart?

I can't imagine ever going down without a fight

A coward never knows the meaning of scars

Blessed with empathy, but cursed by apathy

Searching through the shadows on an absent peace of mind

Constant misdirection, ignorant leading the blind

Nerve ain’t no use to a dead man, but I at least used mine

Thievery in the highest, break your back to survive

Snap your neck for the hive

I'd rather die than be swallowed alive, I'd rather die than be swallowed alive
