[English]

I can't get out

No, no, I can't get out

No, I can't get out

This pattern it's maddening

Making a tragedy happen that's not even real

Oh, no, I can't get out

Oh, no, I can't get out

Stop looking at me as if I'm your friend

And please stop talking to me like I'll let you in

With every breath that I take, I spiral around and around

And then down and I'm not ever fighting back

Against the intrusive thoughts

Clarity can't be bought

Oh no, I won't get out

I won't get, I won't get

I can't get out (oh)

And no, no, I can't get out (oh)

No, I can't get out

This pattern it's maddening, making a tragedy happen

That's not even real (not even real)

Oh, no, I can't get out

Oh, no, I can't get out

Stop looking at me as if I'm your friend

And please stop talking to me like I'll let you in

And every word that you say

I'll twist it around and around (I'll twist it around)

And then down until I can't recognize you

Give in to intrusive thoughts

Clarity can't be bought

Oh, no, I won't get out

I won't get, I won't get

I can't get out

No, no, I can't get out

No
