[Intro]

The average of life and death

Is worse than either one of them

Nothing ventured nothing gained

I’m trapped here in this purgatory

[Verse 1]

Take the pill, treat the sickness

Open up, you can do this

Fade to grey, greet the numbness

Show me underneath your tongue

The paranoia washed away

And what is left to take it’s place?

Just a void; an empty space

Here we are

In this place, there’s no sound

It’s like your mind is upside down

Time just slips out of your hands

But then you start to understand

That the bottled up hysteria

Has nowhere else to go

[Chorus]

How am I supposed to feel

In the face of a tragedy?

I put up a fight but I feel nothing anymore

You have taken the life from me

It’s not about how I feel

It’s about how to handle me

Try as you might, you cannot fix this anymore

I’m not broken I’m incomplete

[Verse 2]

You painted over blemishes

That make me who I am

But no matter how hard you try

The skin begins to crack

The subtlety of life is lost

Among the walking dead

The bottled up hysteria

Has one place left to go

[Chorus 2]

How am I supposed to feel

In the face of a tragedy?

I put up a fight but I feel nothing anymore

You have taken the life from me

It’s not about how I feel

It’s about how to handle me

Try as you might, you cannot fix this anymore

I’m not broken I’m incomplete

[Bridge]

The innocence inside it speaks to us

Folding our emotions into cranes, and doves

I can’t even remember what I’m naturally like

I hope that I’m still here inside

[Chorus 3]

How am I supposed to feel

In the face of a tragedy?

I put up a fight but I feel nothing anymore

You have taken the life from me

It’s not about how I feel

It’s about how to handle me

Try as you might, you cannot fix this anymore

I’m not broken I’m incomplete
