Someone tell me how to feel
I'm so conflicted inside, and cannot tell what's real
Inhale, exhale
Someone tell me what to say
Even the kindest of words translate in negative ways
Consume pills and booze
These toxic traits
Impression
Their mental state
Regression
Hold you closer even if you choke
I swear I'm not like them
Cannot fix that which isn't broke
Myself I must condemn
Someone tell me what to think
Memories are stuck in head, no matter how much I drink
Please don't become me
(Tie the ropes)
Someone show me why I'm here
(Sharpening the blade)
I'm left to fend for myself, instructions ain't so clear
Learn from what you see
These toxic traits
Impression
Their mental state
Regression
Hold you closer even if you choke
I swear I'm not like them
Cannot fix that which isn't broke
Myself I must condemn
The cycle cannot break
Memories will not shake
Can't give or receive trust
Time and again, what's pure will always rust
These toxic traits
Impression
Their mental state
Regression
Hold you closer even if you choke
I swear I'm not like them
Cannot fix that which isn't broke
Myself I must condemn
Hold you closer even if you choke
No sunshine, end of the line
Hold you closer even if you choke
