lyrics

The town
the misremembered streets
my eyes don't see the fiction
that my soul is feeding me
need, decay
I dream of somewhere safe
where I can decompose
and hide my other self away

Fear is all
we can keep restrained
in the pressure of reality
everything is displaced
seal it away
and just try to make it through
but the air burns away
in the heat of the verisimilitude

Burn everything
burn everything
burn everything I am away
everything I am must die here

This is my time
to destroy what I am
or I'm going under
every brand new day
is another new chance
to become that other girl
and the dreams that I have
are lost in a stab
of rolling thunder
and I'm going under
somehow every day I lose it all

This is my time
and it's all that I have
but I'm losing focus
every brand new day
is another new scab
but I just can't show it
and the fears that I am
are the things that last
and the wires that choke us
can they hold us hold us?
Am I going under?

Do we know
what we can become?
The years we spent in purgatory
staring at the sun
is this all we have?
Will we ever know ourselves?
We can not go back

Burn everything
burn everything
burn everything I am away
everything I am
must die here

This is my time
to destroy what I am
or I'm going under
every brand new day
is another new chance
to become that other girl
and the dreams that I have
are lost in a stab
of rolling thunder
and I'm going under
somehow every day I lose it all

Can you lie?
Can you look behind my eyes
tell me everything is fine?
we have all the time in the world
to make things right

This is my time
and it's all that I have
but I'm losing focus
every brand new day
is another new scab
but I just can't show it
and the fears that I am
are the things that last
and the wires that choke us
can they hold us hold us?
Am I going under?

Every day I just keep falling

Am I going under?
Every day
every day
I'm going under

Life underneath the waves.
