Lyrics
Tossed around the idea of stepping off the edge, hoping my fall lands into a familiar place
Torn between contemplating stepping into the unknown, hoping that where I land will be familiar
A familiar face: can we leave this space? It reminds me of all my mistakes
Desiring to depart from this current situation represented by a familiar face, as it reminds of past errors
Bite my tongue, vision spins, living life from the cutter's skin
Suppressing speech, feeling disoriented, experiencing life through routine or conformity
Sent to be an ungrateful son, can't you see my breath is gone?
Feeling like a disappointment, unnoticed efforts causing exhaustion
Bury my head to hide from reality
Avoiding facing the truth of a situation by hiding
I'll make a new name for myself, i'm on my own
Intending to create a new identity and independence
I just hope I have the strength to move and show fortitude
Hoping to find the strength to act decisively and show resilience
Bite my tongue, vision spins, living life from the cutter's skin
Reiteration of suppressing speech and feeling disoriented, living life conforming to norms
Sent to be an ungrateful son, can't you see my breath is gone?
Feeling like a disappointment, unnoticed efforts causing exhaustion (repeated line)
Just let me sleep tonight
Seeking solace in sleep, yearning for respite
I only feel safe inside
Feeling secure only when isolated or within oneself
Shadows cast and dance slick
Darkness and movement of shadows, suggesting hidden or unclear elements
These walls expand quick
Sense of confinement or feeling trapped as surroundings expand
With every strike, I shudder at the wake, rippling through my drifting mind
Reacting with fear or discomfort to each impact, causing disturbance in thoughts
What if I knew the journey this whole time? Just let me sleep tonight
Questioning whether awareness of the journey's difficulties would have changed anything, seeking solace in sleep (repeated line)
I only feel safe inside. So I need to be saved? Do I want to be?
Wondering if needing salvation or wanting it, feeling unsure
I don't want to be the shell of what these people see
Not wanting to be perceived as a mere outer shell of oneself by others
Just let me sleep tonight. I only feel safe inside
Seeking refuge in sleep due to feeling secure only within oneself (repeated line)
