I had a vision last night 00:19

Night diving in Monterey 00:23

That water on my skin 00:31

It washed my shame away 00:35

And I've been sipping on a poison 00:42

Even on the days I taste it 00:45

Run into the same wall 00:49

All because I just can't face it 00:51

And I'm tired of running from the conversations 00:55

Screaming in the silence, all alone 01:02

And I miss the innocence that it has taken 01:07

Oh, I'm frustrated, I can't take it 01:13

But I'll fake it, then I'll hate myself again 01:16

I had a vision last night 01:33

Horses on the granite plains, mm 01:37

That sound of freedom stampeding 01:45

Why can't I feel the same? (Yeah) 01:49

And I've been sleeping wide awake 01:57

Slow dancing 'round the cracks in the floorboards 01:59

Fighting myself while lying in a 02:04

Bed I made and can't ignore 02:06

And I'm tired of running from the conversations 02:09

Screaming in the silence, all alone 02:16

And I miss the innocence that it has taken 02:22

Oh, I'm frustrated, I can't take it 02:27

But I'll fake it, then I'll hate myself again 02:31

Ooh 02:37

Ooh 02:49

Oh, I'm frustrated, I can't take it 03:00

But I'll fake it, then I'll hate myself 03:03

I'm bleeding, I can't breathe in 03:07

And I'm tearing at the seams 03:09

Oh, I'm so scared that I won't make it out 03:12

I'll let you down 03:16

And I'll hate myself again 03:18

Lyrics:

[English]

I had a vision last night

Night diving in Monterey

That water on my skin

It washed my shame away

And I've been sipping on a poison

Even on the days I taste it

Run into the same wall

All because I just can't face it

And I'm tired of running from the conversations

Screaming in the silence, all alone

And I miss the innocence that it has taken

Oh, I'm frustrated, I can't take it

But I'll fake it, then I'll hate myself again

I had a vision last night

Horses on the granite plains, mm

That sound of freedom stampeding

Why can't I feel the same? (Yeah)

And I've been sleeping wide awake

Slow dancing 'round the cracks in the floorboards

Fighting myself while lying in a

Bed I made and can't ignore

And I'm tired of running from the conversations

Screaming in the silence, all alone

And I miss the innocence that it has taken

Oh, I'm frustrated, I can't take it

But I'll fake it, then I'll hate myself again

Ooh

Oh, I'm frustrated, I can't take it

But I'll fake it, then I'll hate myself

I'm bleeding, I can't breathe in

And I'm tearing at the seams

Oh, I'm so scared that I won't make it out

I'll let you down

And I'll hate myself again
