I waited patiently Till I figured it out and calmed you down You saw it differently You're my shadow now I'll cast you out into the dark Stay (Stay) Awake (Awake) And pray (Pray) for another way out You can fake (Fake) anything But your past (Your past) Has its hands around your neck Take a breath if you need it Hold it in for a minute, can you feel me? Inside you're so empty You can try all you want, you won't fill it Such a waste (You just can't escape) Separate (You just float away) Such a waste (I used up all my time) Suffocate (I really wish you'd suffocate) I've had this feeling before It's always around, it drags me down This time of year There's a certain smell I can't ignore Don't give up, not this time Can't go back again Can't go back again (Do you care if I'm alright?) Is anyone listening? Take a breath if you need it Hold it in for a minute, can you feel me? Inside you're so empty You can try all you want, you won't fill it Such a waste (You just can't escape) Separate (You just float away) Such a waste (I used up all my time) Suffocate (I really wish you'd suffocate) Pull me in, cover me, bury me, walk away I won't notice It's so hopeless Follow me silently off a ledge so we can sleep So we can sleep Take a breath if you need it Take a breath if you need it Come on, breathe Take a breath
