Lyrics

Wishing to live but I'm praying to lie

Expressing a desire to live but conflicted feelings leading to a wish to deceive or pretend.

Reasons to feel only show what I hide

Emotions are concealed, and external expressions only reveal a fraction of inner struggles.

Baby don't tell me you're feeling alright

Seeking reassurance about emotional well-being; skepticism about someone claiming to be okay.

Cuts on your wrists mark the secrets inside

Physical evidence of pain and hidden troubles manifested through self-harm.

Run my way babe

Inviting someone to come closer or follow their path.

Don't runaway from me

Requesting not to distance oneself.

Just run my way babe

Encouraging the person to align with their path or choices.

Fuck all I've known

Expressing frustration or discontent with one's past experiences.

I know that you need me to cope

Acknowledging the importance of the speaker for the other person's coping mechanisms.

You're not all alone babe

Assuring that the person is not alone in their struggles.

I know that you're feeling alone

Acknowledging the other person's feelings of loneliness.

I'll take all the pain that keeps hold on your soul

Offering to bear the emotional pain that grips the other person's soul.

I'm burning my ashes

Symbolizing transformation or renewal through burning metaphorical ashes.

Shit turns into snow

Transformation of negative experiences into something serene, like snow.

The world as we know

Reflecting on the challenging state of the world.

Keeps on gripping my throat

Feeling constrained or suffocated by life's difficulties.

And I'm losing my patience

Growing impatient with life's challenges.

Shits starting to show

Revealing the beginning of external manifestations of inner struggles.

But fuck what they say

Disregarding societal opinions and prioritizing the need to stay for someone.

I know that you need me to stay

Acknowledging the speaker's importance for the other person's well-being.

I'm numb to the pain babe

Being emotionally desensitized or numb to pain.

I'm fucking so numb to the pain

Reiterating emotional numbness as a defense mechanism against pain.

Kiss on your thighs

Intimate gesture symbolizing a deeper connection.

She starts screaming my name

Intensity in a physical relationship leading to vocal expression.

Losing sensations

Experiencing a loss of physical sensations.

But death feels the same

Equating death with the numbing effect of emotional pain.

Running from shadows

Trying to escape from unseen troubles or inner demons.

I'm keeping my pace

Maintaining a steady pace despite challenges.

But the bitch catching up

Acknowledging a persistent and challenging threat.

As i'm nodding away

Numbing oneself, possibly with substances, to escape reality.

Sulfate, sulfate, sulfate

Repetition of "sulfate" emphasizing a substance associated with escape or altered states.

Self hate, self hate, self hate

Repetition of "self-hate" suggesting internal struggles and negative self-perception.

Run my way babe

Reiterating the invitation for someone to align with the speaker's path.

Don't runaway from me

Emphasizing the desire for closeness and connection.

Fuck the pain

Rejecting or expressing frustration with emotional pain.

Fuck the pain

Repetition emphasizing the rejection or frustration with pain.

Fuck the pain

Reiteration of frustration or defiance against emotional pain.
