lyrics

She said that the world is a box that's too small for me
I can't take these walls anymore
And I can't feel shit except for apathy
I'm like a boat tied with rope to the shore

I used to see people and know them just by looking
Now they collar my throat and cut at my knees
Because people aren't friends, they're just cages to lock me in
And not even you could set me free

I'm just tired of trying, I'm already done
You say that you love me, but is this what you want?
I'll slip into nothing, I'll die in your arms
So I'm calling your bluff, baby, this isn't love

I said "I'll wait till you find help, till you get better, babe"
And she said "but I won't, because there's no help to find"
And I said "why don't you try?"
And she said "because I'm a quitter, babe
And hope only helps till you realize you're blind"

"My body's a hole that I am sinking in
It gets deeper and darker each day
The light in my tunnel was snuffed a long time ago
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say"

I'm just tired of trying, I'm already done
You say that you love me, but is this what you want?
I'll slip into nothing, I'll die in your arms
So I'm calling your bluff, baby, this isn't love

And with tears in her eyes, she kissed my lips and she said
That I keep her alive when she wants to be dead
But there's just one thing that I could never understand:
It's that nothing is real, it's always been in my head

She said that the world is a box that's too small for me
I can't take these walls anymore
And I can't feel shit except for apathy
I'm like a house without blood on its doors
