Lyrics

Kept away from the weight again
Of all my unseen friends
Who've promised not to mend
I'm still awake, and I'm giving in
This ain't where I should've been
And I can't see an end

I've kept away from all the things we've said - it wasn't good for me
Kept away from the need to break
I'm diving, head first, to the bottom of my silent, screaming need
And for a first, I am unafraid

The ache beneath my skin is real
And yet, I shouldn't feel
My thoughts escape me, still
I know I'm hard to reel back in
I know I'm burning sin
I know it's sink or swim

I fall below the part of me that I have hidden from the world
I've fallen passed my own intent
And when I land, I know, there's nothing I can say to make it right
We're left with nothing but regret

But just as sure as I am wrong
I haven't stumbled long
And I swear to finish strong
When "tough as nails" just ain't enough
I'm made to cast a bluff
And lean on the need for luck

Despite the constant way I skin my knees upon attempted strength
There's one fact left that can't be changed
I've eaten failure from the day I first began this endless chase
And I'm still standing, unafraid
