[Intro]

I saw the gap again today

While you were begging me to stay

Take care not to make me enter

If I do, we both may disappear


[Verse 1]

Know that I will choke until I swallow

Choke this infant here before me

What is this but my reflection?

Who am I to judge or strike you down?


[Chorus]

But you're

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

You still love me, you still love me

But you didn't need to push it on me

You still love me, you still love me

But you didn't need to push it on me


[Verse 2]

Rest your trigger on my finger

Bang my head upon the fault line

You better take care not to make me enter

'Cause if I do, we both may disappear


[Chorus]

But you're

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me

You still love me, you still love me

But you didn't need to push it on me

You're pushing and shoving me

Pushing and shoving me


[Verse 3]

I'm slipping back into the gap again

I'm alive when you're touching me

Alive when you're shoving me down, yeah

But I'd trade it all

For just a little peace of mind


[Chorus]

Push it on me, push it on me

Push it on me, push it on me

You're pushing, and shoving, and scrambling

To keep my feet flat on the ground


[Bridge]

I am somewhere I don't wanna be, yeah

Push me somewhere I don't wanna be

You put me somewhere I don't wanna be

Seeing someplace I don't wanna see

Never want to see that place again


[Verse 4]

Saw that gap again today

While you were begging me to stay

Managed to push myself away

And you, as well, my dear

And if when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay

You minimize my movement anyway

I must persuade you another way


[Outro]

Pushing and shoving

Pushing and shoving

Pushing me

There's no love in fear

Yeah, I'm staring down the hole again

Hands around my back again

Survival is my only friend

Terrified of what may come, yeah

Remember I'll always love you

As I claw your fucking throat away

It will end no other way

It will end no other way
