lyrics

I lie awake with myself
The colour drained from my face
Inside no way to begin
Out of the gloom and the din

I reach my hand out
Swipe at nothing
As I stumble forward
Confront the darkness
As it shudders memory to the present
And in the space in between
I lie awake with myself

Find a place for these dreams
Close the door
Left unseen
I bit off what I can’t chew
More than me
It’s more than you
Dying star
Burn to black
There’s no witness
Can’t turn back
What do you want
I can oblige
I surrender
I’m surrendered up

These things I did that can’t be undone
I can’t retract I can’t rewind
I press my head against the window
I cannot help but hide inside
How do I live with myself
I cannot live with myself

(Breakdown)

I want a way out
There’s no way out
Of the dark
I want a way out
There’s no way out
Of the dark

Find a place for these dreams
Close the door
Left unseen
I bit off what I can’t chew
More than me
It’s more than you
Dying star
Burn to black
There’s no witness
Can’t turn back
What do you want
I can oblige
I surrender
I’m surrendered up
