So I took off my mask
And showed you my face
'Cause we were in the same boat
But just not the same place
I could barely function
And my world was strange
And you self-destructed
And I was in range
I sent you pencil scratchings and heartfelt words
I just got back shreds of paper and a hard-wrought curse
We're chained to each other like anchors, it's dragging us down
You said you were hopeless
Like it was a joke
Well, I wasn't f*ckin' laughing
No, I wasn't f*ckin' laughing at all
And I'm trying to help you
Through a telescope
Because I fear that I'll hear your story
Ended at the end of a rope
And I sent you pencil scratchings and heartfelt words
I just got back shreds of paper and a hard-wrought curse
We're chained to each other like anchors, it's dragging us down
I know you won't break this cycle and you'll keep getting worse
And I won't break this cycle and I'll keep getting hurt
The ouroboros of suffering continues, it's dragging us down
And will there come a day
When all is wrong, and I can say
That I tried, that I tried, that I tried
To send a signal through the fray?
Or will there come a day
When all is right, and I should say
That I lied, that I lied, that I lied
And all you are's a soul to save?
We fall away
We fall away
We fall away
We fall away...
