I'm tired of downplaying what I want And keeping myself under boards and nails I'm tired of holding my own sweaty palms I'm breathing fine, but still my air is stale Conceited, isolated, stuck in the past I'm disembodied without wood and string Magma resides from camaraderie and craft And when combined, I couldn't breathe, I'd just sing I'm licking all the wounds and hoping they don't infect And praying to be vegetative behind the scenes I'm as subtle and as careful as a kick in the neck Certified to save, but failing miserably Oh, why can't I ever let go I'm treating tension with party poppers On the countdown to when I explode Oh, why can't I ever let go I don't want to be given closure Because that means I'm given exposure To a voice that's taking me one step closer To jumping from the rooftops and dying slow I'm sucking it up and pushing it down My teenage gray hair starts to show True lust for snakes kept me around Though who I loved had always known And when proximity results in clenching fists I can't lie to myself to please you I'm checking all the boxes on the naughty list Of a great white shark and his army of fools Can I get a break every once in a while Or am I just breaking where my faults shine through Held at gunpoint, I can't force a smile Every bit of self control goes to ignoring you Oh, why can't I ever let go I'm treating tension with party poppers On the countdown to when I explode Oh, why can't I ever let go I don't want to be given closure Because that means I'm given exposure To a voice that's taking me one step closer To jumping from the rooftops and dying slow Sucking it up and pushing it down Sucking it up and pushing it down Sucking it up and pushing it down Sucking it up and pushing it down Oh, why can't I ever let go I'm stopping myself from sinking lower Still preparing for a strike from below Oh, why can't I ever let go Half a story is worse than no words I'm filling in the pages wherever you don't Oh, why can't I ever let go I'm treating tension with party poppers On the countdown to when I explode Oh, why can't I ever let go I don't want to be given closure Because that means I'm given exposure To a voice that's taking me one step closer To jumping from the rooftops and dying slow
