lyrics

Pushing myself to an edge I never could've foreseen
No one would've ever expected this from me
I tried my best
put forth so much effort
I tried my best
In the end didnt get any better

I am a wire frame
my aesthetic is built on shame
And I hate every piece
of everything I ever became

Discourse does nothing to explain
The finer points of who shares the blame
I can't look myself in the eye
such lack of faith such lack of pride

but thats the problem

you can't see me the way i see me
I'll always be I'll always be
I am a slave to everything
surrounding me infinite shame
I am a slave to everything
every eye gaze with disdain
social veil comfort and hide
regressing pride regressing life
becasue on inside further than fine
becasue all that I do is a lie

you can't see me way i see me

The watermark on the ceiling of my roof is growing and rotting away
The covering of shelter and comfort I always thought would house me
the plaster it grays it melts away becomes transparent
I've always got the darkest clouds above my head I can't out run them

And I am my own God
but I fail to believe
look at all these leaks
maybe I should just leave

I lack pride I'm unhealthy

Back to the floor stare at the ceiling
watching trails of water fall and dissipate
and I can see it clearly now the cracks are graying
follow them back to their source lie awake
