[Intro: Monique Pym]

More hours pass - I'm listening for the other side

A steady rhythm, I hear it from the bottom of the river tonight

No expectations, no delusions, no pride

With nothing left to lose I think I'm learning what it feels like

[Verse 1: Monique Pym]

To question

(No hesitation with the answers)

To live, to learn, to find

(Or to turn your back to death and never know?)

[Verse 2: Sean Harmanis]

I’ve found my fear, it lives under a microscope

Not the beast I thought I knew but quiet, clever, fueled on hope

I've seen the devil and they don't believe me

With every move I make it's harder to see

[Chorus: Monique Pym & Sean Harmanis]

Round and round it goes

"Just once more and then I promise you can go"

Peeling stickers off of plastic bottles and covering my eyes

‘Cause one more second of this shit will send me blind

Maybe somewhere I've never been

They'd let me fill up my lungs with fire

'Cause I've broke my inhibition, I'm over the decisions

Won't you take me to walk the wire?

[Verse 3: Monique Pym with Sean Harmanis]

I have found my body, found my soul, but it's not me

Got me thinking I'm better off sippin' on medicine instead of coffee

What kinda warning label, safety first, pin cushion, experimentation, hyperfixating, panic button brain have I created?!

Running through a hall of mirrors just to find a new identity

Spinnin' round in circles - flip a coin to decide on a paranoia this week

I’ve seen the devil and they don't believe me

With every move I make it's harder to see

[Chorus]

Round and round it goes

"Just once more and then I promise you can go"

Peeling stickers off of plastic bottles and covering my eyes

'Cause one more second of this shit will send me blind!

Maybe somewhere I've never been

They'd let me fill up my lungs with fire

'Cause I've broke my inhibition, I'm over the decisions

Won't you take me to walk the wire?

[Bridge: Monique Pym]

Oh, Mother, can you hear me when I say

That I'm afraid to die, but less than I'm afraid to stay

The "someone" I could be is fuckin' waiting in a shell

But if I crack it I could break and I'd be in a worse hell

Oh, Mother, can you hear me when I say

That I'm afraid to die, but less than I'm afraid to stay

The "someone" I could be is fuckin' waiting in a shell

But if I crack it I could break and I'd be in a worse hell

[Breakdown: Sean Harmanis]

To be afraid of my own shadow

Is worse than any fate that I could run from

[Bridge: Monique Pym]

Counting back slow

Closest thing to stopping time I'll ever know

A fleeting high that sends me lower even still

So still I'll sit, until I'm nothing but an afterglow

[Chorus: Monique Pym]

Maybe somewhere I've never been

They'd let me fill up my lungs with fire

'Cause I've broke my inhibition, I'm all out of decisions

Won't you take me to walk the wire?

[Outro: Monique Pym & Sean Harmanis]

Yeah, take me to my resting place

And let me dance on the grave all night

I thought I'd live forever if I wore a warning sign
