[Intro: Tyler Small &
Chase Papariello
]
Hold back the tide
And you're the tip of the spear
Always and only the words you fear
"Well, no one needs you", well, no one needs you
I distanced myself from what I needed most
[Verse 1: Chase Papariello &
Tyler Small
]
Now it envelopes me again
Passive aggression in the wake of regret
All the things I've left behind
I am my own thorn in my side
Circumstances allow the world to spin backwards
No one pays who truly deserves
And those who know nothing
Can understand nothing
[Chorus: Tyler Small]
And I've been bitter for so many months
Watching the stars blink out, one by one
Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun
One day I swear I'll be loud enough
[Verse 2: Chase Papariello]
Plunge your hands back into the filth
Fight with all of your self-control
Mind over matter
This temple you once called your own
[Bridge: Tyler Small &
Chase Papariello
]
I don't know how I couldn't see through the cracks in my shell
I don't know how they didn't see that I was trapped in myself
I need my skin replaced
Don't let them tell you who you are
What's right, what's wrong, the world does not
Bow to the whim of those
Who cannot even think for themselves
This bridge between our souls has burned
It's not safe to walk on
This bridge has burned
It's not safe, it's not safe, it has burned
It's not safe to walk on
[Chorus: Tyler Small]
And I've been bitter for so many months
Watching the stars blink out, one by one
Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun
One day I swear I'll be loud enough
You'll never know your best days
Until they've come and gone
So dig yourself out from your hole in the floor
How many days have you just wished that you'd done more?
