...

Ah

...

I'm in too deep, I'm make believe

I know the demons always choose me

They shift and twist, push back again

They're always trying to consume me

I cannot let it in, they'll take my everything

But leave me nothing, I've lost all feeling

No, I don't wanna bend to my own loneliness

I'll scream 'til nothing's left (on and on)

'Cause they push and pull me down

And I'm forced to face the who I've become

The silence screams so loud

I caught myself before the bottom

I need a new way, give me a new way out

...

The pain and all the pretty things

Are yours if you can get bare to see it

You are the risk, the reckoning

If you're brave enough to mean it

No, I don't wanna bend to my own loneliness

I'll scream 'til nothing's left (on and on)

'Cause they push and pull me down

And I'm forced to face the who I've become

The silence screams so loud

I caught myself before the bottom

I need a new way, give me a new way out

Are you gonna get up

Or are they gonna keep you down?

Down, oh-oh

Get up

...

'Cause they push and pull me down

And I'm forced to face the who I've become

The silence screams so loud

I caught myself before the bottom

I need a new way, give me a new way

I need a new way, give me a new way out

New way out, oh

...
