lyrics

The static calms me down
I hear the voices
Can you hear it
I can hear it
I try to drown me out
I'm not myself, believe it
Do you believe it

These words are nothing to you
These words are nothing to you
Take back all the things you said
Lay me in the river
Let me rest with the dead

You'll never need me
You're the grown-up I'll never be

Significant and relevant
I tell myself but I admit
the better that I feel the more I have to lose
And losing it means no more me
Don't try to see what I see
He'll come for you and I can't lose or choose who's next
And I don't know who that is gonna be
I am not myself
I might need help
I might need sleep
I need the dark
I need somebody to help me breathe
Just someone fix me please
It's safer in the dark because I know nobody else can see
Leave me be
Leave me in peace at least
Defeat the other half of me

These words are nothing to you
These words are nothing to you
Take back all the things you said
Lay me in the river
Let me rest with the dead

You'll never need me
You're the grown-up I'll never be
