don't try

lyrics

back up against the wall i always try to get away
but in hospital beds they always say i have to stay somehow
all of it wearing down, i’m wearing out and
when i shut my eyes i forget that i’m asleep
i don’t want to wake up, please don’t bother me again
don’t try, don't this time
we cannot complain
we can hear it strain inside
inside these lives
collecting our rain
running through our veins in time
this life leaves stains
pressed up against the wind there is no tomorrow now, all the edges wear away
amygdala runs out tonight
putting us through this fear; through this fear
and every time i bleed the perfect color fills my eyes and
i am sick and tired of your half-hearted lullabies you sing
all of it wearing down and what good does it bring this time?
don't dry these eyes
i cannot complain, start to levitate inside
don’t try this time
digital and late
succumbing to fate
sparkling with hate
just another charade
and i don’t think I like you, like i don’t like myself
and i am going to burn and i’ll be somebody else
and i will never see you, but i will hear you roar
in every nightmare’s haunted house you are standing at the door
and i cannot complain, i can feel it strain inside
don’t try this time
cold sheets and mattress stains
we circle all our shame inside
don't dry these eyes
carving out my veins
replacing the pain
all that remains
please take it away tonight
i think it’s too late
we pick them up with trembling hands and
we hold our smiles to our empty heads
and our electric smiles all make it seem like it is nothing but joy that
these nights bring, and you will think that
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
we are all so happy here, yes, we are all so happy
