Lyrics
I take it all out on myself but you walk out all the same
I bear the burden alone, but you leave regardless
Hands on the keys but you're not playing, tears welling but I'm just too far away
Engaged in an activity, but emotionally distant; tears welling, yet I feel too distant
I'm a sociopath draped in the skin of man
Describing oneself as emotionally detached and insensitive
My fingers are bleeding but I can't stop you, hold me back
Despite pain, unable to prevent your departure; pleading to be held back
Apply pressure, be tough, lay it all put on the table
Advocating resilience, openness, and honesty in facing challenges
Every dinner needs a fire but you're just not careful
Metaphorically referring to relationships needing attention, care, and caution
I did the best I could so who are you to judge?
Defending actions, questioning the right to be judged
I broke all my fingers, they're all bloody god damn nubs
Expressing extreme self-harm, emphasizing the severity
I'm running all around, trying now to flag you down
Frantically attempting to get attention, but facing obstacles
But it's so dark outside my candle has burnt out
Metaphorically in a dark situation with no guidance or hope
Am I even a friend, because it's cold out kid
Questioning the nature of friendship in challenging times
Shut the hell up, and let me wallow in my self pity
Desiring solitude to indulge in self-pity
It's all my fault please leave me the hell alone
Taking responsibility for everything and requesting isolation
I'm so sorry
Expressing remorse
But I don't wanna leave I've made my home in here
Reluctant to leave a familiar place, having shared vulnerabilities
I've already told you all my deepest darkest fears
Revealing personal fears and insecurities
I'm a parasite, a tapeworm, a tick
Comparing oneself to a parasite, acknowledging being overlooked
But I don't get the time of day so ignorance is bliss
Accepting ignorance as bliss due to lack of acknowledgment
I'm a sociopath draped in the skin of man
Reiteration of emotional detachment and self-insensitivity
My fingers are bleeding but I can't stop you, hold me back
Repetition of physical pain and inability to prevent departure
Apply pressure, be tough, lay it all put on the table
Reiterating the need for resilience, openness, and honesty
Every dinner needs a fire but you're just not careful
Repeating the metaphor of relationships needing care and caution
I did the best I could so who are you to judge?
Defending actions again, questioning the right to be judged
I broke all my fingers, they're all bloody God damn nubs
Reiterating extreme self-harm and emphasizing severity
I'm running all around, trying now to flag you down
Continued efforts to seek attention in a challenging situation
But it's so dark outside my candle has burnt out
Metaphorically in a dark situation with no guidance or hope, expressing regret
I'm so sorry
Repeating remorse
