Keep holding on 00:05

When my brain's ticking like a bomb 00:08

Guess the black thoughts 00:11

Have come again to get me 00:14

Sweet bitter words 00:18

Unlike nothing I've heard 00:21

Sing along, mockingbird 00:24

You don't affect me 00:27

00:30

That's right 00:33

Deliverance of my heart 00:36

Please strike 00:39

Be deliberate 00:42

Wait, I'm coming undone 00:46

Irate, I'm coming undone 00:50

Too late, I'm coming undone 00:53

What looks so strong, so delicate 00:56

Wait, I'm starting to suffocate 01:00

And soon I anticipate 01:04

I'm coming undone 01:08

What looks so strong, so delicate 01:09

Choke, choke again 01:16

I thought my demons were my friends 01:18

Pity me in the end 01:21

They're out to get me 01:24

Since I was young 01:29

I tasted sorrow on my tongue 01:31

And the sweet sugar gun 01:33

Does not protect me 01:37

01:40

That's right 01:43

Trigger between my eyes 01:47

Please strike 01:49

Make it quick now 01:52

Wait, I'm coming undone 01:57

Irate, I'm coming undone 02:00

Too late, I'm coming undone 02:03

What looks so strong, so delicate 02:06

Wait, I'm starting to suffocate 02:10

And soon I anticipate 02:14

I'm coming undone 02:18

What looks so strong, so delicate 02:20

02:24

I'm trying to hold it together 02:36

Head is lighter than a feather 02:41

Looks like I'm not getting better 02:44

Not getting better 02:47

Wait, I'm coming undone 02:48

Irate, I'm coming undone 02:51

Too late, I'm coming undone 02:55

What looks so strong, so delicate 02:58

Wait, I'm starting to suffocate 03:02

And soon I anticipate 03:06

I'm coming undone 03:09

What looks so strong, so delicate 03:11

[English]

Keep holding on
When my brain's ticking like a bomb
Guess the black thoughts
Have come again to get me
Sweet bitter words
Unlike nothing I've heard
Sing along, mockingbird
You don't affect me

That's right
Deliverance of my heart
Please strike
Be deliberate
Wait, I'm coming undone
Irate, I'm coming undone
Too late, I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate
Wait, I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate
Choke, choke again
I thought my demons were my friends
Pity me in the end
They're out to get me
Since I was young
I tasted sorrow on my tongue
And the sweet sugar gun
Does not protect me

That's right
Trigger between my eyes
Please strike
Make it quick now
Wait, I'm coming undone
Irate, I'm coming undone
Too late, I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate
Wait, I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate

I'm trying to hold it together
Head is lighter than a feather
Looks like I'm not getting better
Not getting better
Wait, I'm coming undone
Irate, I'm coming undone
Too late, I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate
Wait, I'm starting to suffocate
And soon I anticipate
I'm coming undone
What looks so strong, so delicate
