All night dread

Gone through the motions, stayed up instead

Up feeling restless, I'll play my favourite playlist in protest

I'll waste away through the night in my head

Yet again

Stuck with emotion, I'm playing dead

Facing away from my fear and dread that's all but consumed me

I'll just keep hiding these feelings instead

I can't sleep again

So I'm passing time with my mind sinking in this melody

Letting night creep in

I will stay here and fester reminded I've wasted everything

Words you feed me lack all meaning

Shift the blame play pretend

It's the samе in the end

Felt this feeling, mеlting, reeling

I'll be fine, I'll pretend

That it's gone again

Though I try I know I'll never act the part

Looking back at life so far

Broke my heart

All night dread

Gone through the motions, stayed up instead

Up feeling restless, I'll play my favourite playlist in protest

I'll waste away through the night in my head

Yet again

Stuck with emotion, I'm playing dead

Facing away from my fear and dread that's all but consumed me

I'll just keep hiding these feelings instead

To pretend

Filled with emotion I can't forget

Tossed out and broken, I'll just ignore the signals around me

Rewind the tape and get back in my head

I can rest

Wistful and broken, I hit reset

Time for me's open, my memories tangled up in the past tense

I'll waste away through this life like I'm dead
