I Admit
Confessions of Inner Turmoil: 'I Admit' by Everyday Dogs
Lyrics
Once I thought my demons dead
Previously, I believed my inner struggles were resolved or conquered.
But I can still hear them beg
However, I still perceive their persistent pleas or cries.
Tell me now what can I do
I'm uncertain what actions I can take when many people resemble you.
When all these faces look like you
Various individuals remind me of you.
Show me what it’s like to feel
Show me how to experience emotions authentically.
I won’t sleep till it’s all revealed
I won't rest until everything is exposed or made clear.
Someone tell me this thing happens all the time
I seek assurance that such occurrences are common, and eventually, everything will be alright.
And after all, it’ll all be fine
Ultimately, the situation will resolve positively.
My afflictions gone to waste
My suffering has been in vain, and I've become desensitized to my own identity.
And I’ve gone numb to my own face
I've become emotionally detached from recognizing myself.
Ask yourself what’s down the line
Reflect on what lies ahead in the future.
Can I pretend it’ll all be fine
Can I feign or imagine that everything will eventually be alright?
Show me what it’s like to feel
Show me how genuine emotions are experienced.
I won’t sleep till it’s all revealed
I won't rest until everything is exposed or made clear.
Someone tell me this thing happens all the time
I seek assurance that such occurrences are common, and eventually, everything will be alright.
And after all, it’ll all be fine
Ultimately, the situation will resolve positively.
My whole world’s gone to shit
My entire world has fallen into a chaotic state.
There’s no use crying over it
There's no benefit in excessively grieving over it.
I know some dreams are just too sweet
I understand that some aspirations are too precious to relinquish to someone else.
To lay them down at your feet
To submit these dreams at your mercy would be challenging.
Show me what it’s like to feel
Show me how genuine emotions are experienced.
I won’t sleep till it’s all revealed
I won't rest until everything is exposed or made clear.
Someone tell me this thing happens all the time
I seek assurance that such occurrences are common, and eventually, everything will be alright.
And after all, it’ll all be fine
Ultimately, the situation will resolve positively.
If I bleed for you I’ll still be only
Even if I sacrifice for you, I'll still be close to facing the same situation.
One step away from the same
There's a minimal difference between where I stand and where you stand.
Now I could be clean if you show me
If you guide me, I could find absolution, but it might result in blaming myself.
Hold me down till I’m to blame
Hold me responsible until I accept the blame.
Well I’m so sorry
Expressing regret for my actions.
How I wish I could stay away
I wish I could distance myself from this situation.
Oh God, I know this just don’t feel right
Acknowledging a sense of discomfort or wrongness, feeling something is off.
Something’s wrong I admit
Admitting that something is not right.
I admit
Repeating the admission of wrongdoing or discomfort.
I admit
I admit
-I admit
