Lyrics
This thing is eating away at me
Expressing an internal struggle or burden that is causing distress
From the inside to further in
Highlighting how this issue penetrates deeper within
Darkness striking at the heart of me
Referring to a profound emotional pain affecting the core
Started like a sliver in my skin
Indicating the initial and gradual onset of a problem
Hell, I don't know
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about the situation
I guess I'd scream if I knew what to say
An inclination to vocalize distress but feeling unable to articulate it
Tell me that it ain't so
Requesting confirmation that the distressing situation is not true
And help me put the knives away
Pleading for assistance in resolving or managing the emotional pain
I lie in bed, you touch my head
Describing a moment of emotional vulnerability and intimacy
And I think of that body reclined
Recalling a sensual experience with another person
Sweet to taste and the pain's erased
Suggesting that the pain subsides temporarily in this state of mind
When I'm in your state of mind
Implying relief or escape from emotional distress through connection
Hell, I don't know
Reiterating the inability to articulate feelings effectively
I guess I'd scream if I knew what to say
Expressing the desire to voice distress if knowing how to express it
Tell me that it ain't so
Seeking reassurance that the distressing situation isn’t real
And help me put the knives away
Asking for support in dealing with internal turmoil
Something's knocking, I'm numb but I'm walking
Sensing an external influence impacting feelings but continuing to move forward despite feeling emotionally detached
But my rhythm is all gone
Feeling a disruption in the usual pace or flow of life
There's no one to catch me, no one to snatch me
Sensing a lack of support or protection in a challenging situation
I can only hold on so long
Expressing the limited ability to cope with the ongoing struggle
But I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty in expressing feelings
I guess I'd scream if I knew what to say
Desiring to vocalize distress but feeling unable to find the right words
Tell me that it ain't so
Seeking confirmation or reassurance about the distressing situation
And help me put the knives away
Requesting assistance in coping with the emotional pain
My world's repeating, my wings are beating
Describing a sense of being stuck in a repetitive cycle
But I can't fly anymore
Feeling unable to escape or transcend the current situation
Who's gonna understand, who's gonna help me land
Expressing a need for understanding and support to overcome challenges
Like you always did before
Seeking someone’s guidance and assistance as in the past
Hell, I don't know
Reiterating the struggle in expressing feelings effectively
I guess I'd scream if I knew what to say
Expressing the desire to communicate distress if knowing how to
Tell me that it ain't so
Requesting reassurance that the distressing situation isn’t real
And help me put the knives away
Asking for help in managing the internal turmoil
Tell me that it ain't so
Seeking confirmation or reassurance about the distressing situation
And help me put the knives away
Pleading for assistance in managing or alleviating emotional pain
Tell me that it ain't so
Requesting confirmation or reassurance about the distressing situation
And help me put the knives away
Pleading for assistance in dealing with emotional pain
