lyrics

I can’t stop this
But I will always have a choice
You never witnessed it
The very sound of your voice
Time to rebuild and start again
But I will always have white noise to save me
When nothing is changing

Break! Through!
But this ain’t nothing new
Stop! Me!
Or I’ll end up like you
You say you’ll stay beneath the surface where you can’t dictate me
Am I going crazy?

Am I an illness?
Or just a box you gotta tick?
Reality exists
In more ways than you will admit
You’ll never see this face again
But I will always have your arms to save me
I know you’ll be waiting

Break! Through!
But this ain’t nothing new
Stop! Me!
Or I’ll end up like you
You say you’ll stay beneath the surface where you can’t dictate me
Am I going crazy?

And I fear, for my life!
Am I losing, losing my mind?
Cut you out, thought I’d won
But this war, has just begun

Break! Through!
But this ain’t nothing new
Stop! Me!
Or I’ll end up like you
You say you’ll stay beneath the surface where you can’t dictate me
Am I going crazy?

Break! Through!
But this ain’t nothing new
Stop! Me!
Or I’ll end up like you
You say you’ll stay beneath the surface where you can’t dictate me
Am I going crazy?
