All this nervousness surrounding me
(Longing for)
A little piece of normality
(I don’t know)
Why can’t you hear my silent screams
(Let me out)
Why does it seem like no one is listening?

Sick, of people in my ear
I live in constant fear
They all act like there’s nothing wrong me
I, can’t carry on this way
Just want a simple day
My better self is just a memory

My weary body is becoming weak
(Every day)
A practiced lie, with what I speak
(Overwhelmed)
The pressure builds and I can’t breathe
(So it seems)
Why does it seem like no one is listening?

I'm far from being fine
Where do I draw the line
I must accept my better self is just a memory
I'm tired of standing by
Pretending all the time

Weighed down

All this nervousness surrounding me
(Longing for)
A little piece of normality
(I don’t know)
Why can’t you hear my silent screams
(Let me out)
Why does it seem like no one is listening?

(Your callous words, they conquer me)
(I show the world what I want it to see)
Conquer me
I can't breathe

Your callous words, they conquer me
I show the world what I want it to see
Weighed down, unable to think straight
I’d give everything to feel nothing again

I'm far from being fine
Where do I draw the line
I must accept my better self is just a memory
I'm tired of standing by
Pretending all the time
I must accept my better self is just a memory

Conquer me
I can't breathe
Your callous words, they conquer me
I show the world what I want it to see
Weighed down, unable to think straight
I’d give everything to feel nothing again
