Empty Vessel - The Nothing Beneath Us Lyrics

They say it's better to feel pain
Than nothing at all
But each passing day
I feel I'm about to fall
I can't choose between my heart and mind
It's either you or I, I'm losing time

The clock ticks
I fear the hands won't catch me in time
I'm falling deeper into the nothing beneath us
Two halves, no longer whole

A place so dark
I can't see in front of me
Alone and desolate
Is this the way it has to be
Pulled underneath an emotional drive
By the skin of my teeth I'll make it out alive

I've got a demon inside of me
It's kicking and screaming
Trying to break free

If we fail
You and I
Will never be the same
Pretending that I will be ok

I hold this close to my chest
Try to push out all the rest
All my insecurities
Won't be the death of me
Won't be the death of me

You swore to me that you'll be by my side
Now you're telling me you won't be dragged for the ride

I've backed myself off the ledge
More times than I'd like to admit
Being trapped in my mind all the time
I fall deeper into the pit

This may be my hell
But this is all I've ever known

If we fail
You and I
Will never be the same
Pretending that I will be ok

I hold this close to my chest
Try to push out all the rest
All my insecurities
Won't be the death of me

I sabotage myself every step of the way
I'm running in circles to find my place
Tearing out pages that don't make any sense
I'm ready to go, just say when

They say that time tells all
So I'm waiting for a sign
To find out what I'm fighting for
