High Strung - Fault Lines

Coward

I have been a coward

Well maybe I’m high strung

I’ve got a habit of biting my tongue

Swear to me that I can make this work

When my hands are covered in dirt

Absent minded, conscience blinded

String me up and leave me dying

It feels like I’m burning up out of control

Like every word I speak

Is landing me deeper in this hole

I know I know

(Lately)

Lately I’ve been holding my breath in hopes of something changing

(I've been thinking)

Thinking thinking these thoughts that haunt my head might be the ones that save

me

The truth is a bitter pill that I can’t choke down

Don’t give a shit where I lay my head

Most days I wish I was dead

Tear me apart from the inside out

Are we still victims of circumstance?

Are we victims yet?

It feels like I’m burning up out of control

Like every word I speak

Is landing me deeper in this hole

I know I know

(Lately)

Lately I’ve been holding my breath in hopes of something changing

(I've been thinking)

Thinking thinking these thoughts that haunt my head might be the ones that save

me

I relive the pain;

As it leaks into my brain

My pen has run out of ink

I don’t want to die

I just want to feel alive

The moment I knew

That I couldn’t fight it

The shadow in the room

A change in the season

A way and a reason

For me to fall

I feel like I’m burning up out of control

Like every word I speak

Will land me deeper in this hole

I know I know

(Lately)

Lately I’ve been holding my breathe in hopes of something changing

(I've been thinking)

Thinking thinking these thoughts that haunt my head might be the ones that save

me

I’m losing my mind!
