Lyrics

Another night in a row

Repetition of spending another night indoors.

You stayed inside looked out your window

Observing the world outside from within.

Why can't you be like him

Questioning why one can't emulate another person's behavior.

Why can't you live more like them

Comparing oneself unfavorably to others' lifestyles.

No it's not a disease

Denial that one's situation is a disease.

You tell a reassuring ceiling

Talking to oneself or finding solace in an unresponsive space.

Now it's getting hard to breathe

Feeling suffocated or anxious.

And these four walls keep falling in

Sense of confinement and emotional collapse.

I just don't know you anymore

Expressing unfamiliarity with someone's changed self.

A shade of grey on a face I've never seen before

Seeing an unfamiliar expression or demeanor.

It's too obscure

Feeling that something is unclear or ambiguous.

Thrown across a bathroom mirror

An object, possibly representing a drug habit or coping mechanism.

It's standing right in front of me

Realization that the issue is glaringly present.

It's standing right in front of me

Reiteration of the issue being prominently visible.

And you say you're done with bad habits

Claiming to have moved on from negative behaviors.

Like the fact you're still stuck on the past

Acknowledgment of being stuck in the past despite claims otherwise.

But you would die before admittance

Refusing to admit or confront certain realities.

Living off past memories has you

Living through past memories has taken a toll.

Broken down looking pretty weak

Feeling emotionally and physically weakened.

Ain't nothing like it used to be

Nostalgia for better times.

Pull the covers right over head and go back to sleep

Escaping from reality by avoiding it.

I just don't know you anymore

Continued unfamiliarity with changed behavior.

A shade of grey on a face I've never seen before

Repeated observation of an unfamiliar demeanor.

It's too obscure

Reiteration of the ambiguity or lack of clarity.

Thrown across a bathroom mirror

Reappearance of the object, possibly symbolic of habits or issues.

It's standing right in front of me

Reaffirmation of the glaring presence of the issue.

It's standing right in front of me

Reiteration of the issue's prominence.

No

Simple negation.

There's no one to turn to

Repetitive expression of isolation, lack of direction, and a lost sense of self, echoing the earlier sentiments.

There's no where to turn to

-

There's nothing to turn to

-

I'm not who I used to be

-

There's no one to turn to

-

There's no where to turn to

There's nothing to turn to

-

I'm not who I used to be

-

There's no one to turn to

-

There's no where to turn to

There's nothing to turn to

-

I'm not who I used to be

-

There's no one to turn to

-

There's no where to turn to

-

There's nothing to turn to

-

I'm not who I used to be

-

There's no one to turn to

-

There's no where to turn to

-

There's nothing to turn to

-

I just don't know you anymore

-

A shade of grey on a face I've never seen before

-

It's too obscure

-

Thrown across a bathroom mirror

-

I just don't know you anymore

-

A shade of grey on a face I've never seen before

-

It's too obscure thrown across a bathroom mirror
