lyrics

Take a breath
My flaws are in the open
And I've tried my best
To fix the things I've broken

I've got the shades drawn
The lights turned down low
I've been looking for some answers
Nothing seems to make it through
Would you take a look inside of me?
While I pace around so anxiously
The corners of my room
Don't feel safe when I'm alone anymore

Every day I bend and then I break
Every night I just lay there wide awake
I remember all of my mistakes
I let them sink into my conscience
And they hold me there until I can't

Take a breath
My flaws are in the open
And I've tried my best
To fix the things I've broken
Cause I know
I crack
At the smallest bit of pressure
So I'll stay away
Cause I'm not strong enough
To leave this shelter

I need composure
But I can't control this pressure
The exit I left out of sight
Is hidden deep behind the light
And I know
It's been feeding all my habits
The moments linger endlessly
And I start to lose my balance again

Every day I bend and then I break
Every night I just lay there wide awake
