StoneLungs - Bandages lyrics

[Verse 1] Counting countless parts of me I'm lying so courageously Honestly, I think I owe myself an apology How can we all be blindly following, solemnly, we all gave up our autonomy Caught up in traditions, that clash against our freedoms We fight a case against ourselves with our own made up reasons When the shoulders get cold, we stand outside freezing There's no growing together for there's always fear of treason Pick a side, choose a uniform there is no in between There's no other way for you to make it in this scene Say goodbye to yourself and goodbye to your dreams Welcome to the world where there is no make believe When the lights all flicker out and you've got nothing left to see Promise that when it all goes down you'll still remember me [Verse 2] It's so dark and cold inside this shell you call a soul If you even wanted could you crawl out of this hole? No one else is here, it's only me and you I am the voice inside your head that slowly eats at you It's so hard to live inside a world of doubt When every word out of your mouth escapes to bring your own self down Now, how could you let yourself drown, think about the scar you leave upon your hometown They say it's better in the morning but you wake up even worse Simply call it curse and idly think about a hearse When your eyelids flicker back and you remember all these words Does a promise mean anything if you're the only one that heard? [Verse 3] The sun is so far gone and so I can't be here for long I don't even know if everything I say is wrong I've thought about this for my whole lifelong How can I convey that I just wanted to belong? I stand outside against the rain Feeling every drop against the skin I think of every word I say And whether I'd say them again
