lyrics

Running on fumes, got to find another drug to try and get me through.

So beat down, and no one’s around to pull me up quickly when I’m starting to drown.
So mixed up on what I should say, living on repeat every single day.

Trying to speak with my mouth sewn shut.
Try to be me, but it’s never enough.
Need a little time off. I feel like I’m insane.
Filling up this paper to hold off the pain.

I’m blanking out on words to describe my situation
I’m passing out from the self-medication
I give my heart to this vacant, empty vow.
When you hear me --- I’m bleeding out loud.

Off the deep end, now I’m sleepin’ with the ghosts of my past and I’m thinking that things will never change, death coursing through my veins.

Trying to see with my eyes sewn shut.
Try to break free but it’s never enough.
I never get time off; I think we’re all insane.
Pushed off the edge, is this all in vain?

I’m blanking out on words to describe my situation
I’m passing out from the self-medication
I give my heart to this vacant, empty vow.
When you hear me --- I’m bleeding out loud.

I need a break from this reality, maybe for an hour or two.
They always talk me up so much, they wouldn’t if they only knew.
I’ve been pushing harder and harder to feel nothing at all.
I'm not a good fit for this life, try to walk but I’m bound to fall.

I’m blanking out on words to describe my situation
I’m passing out from the self-medication
I give my heart to this vacant, empty vow.
When you hear me --- I’m bleeding out loud.
