Lyrics

    I’m losing ground
    You know how this world can beat you down
    I’m made of clay
    I fear I’m the only one who thinks this way
    I’m always falling down the same hill
    Bamboo puncturing this skin
    And nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall I’m drowning in
    2 feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face
    And if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place
    
    I do not want this
    I do not want this
    I do not want this
    I do not want this
    Don’t you tell me how I feel
    Don’t you tell me how I feel
    Don’t you tell me how I feel
    You don’t know just how I feel
    
    I stay inside my bed
    I have lived so many lives all in my head
    Don’t tell me that you care
    There really isn’t anything, is there?
    You would know, wouldn’t you?
    You extend your hand to those who suffer
    To those who know what it really feels like
    To those who’ve had a taste
    Like that means something
    And oh so sick I am
    And maybe I don’t have a choice
    And maybe that is all I have
    And maybe this is a cry for help
    
    I do not want this
    I do not want this
    I do not want this
    I do not want this
    Don’t you tell me how I feel
    Don’t you tell me how I feel
    Don’t you tell me how I feel
    You don’t know just how I feel
    
    I want to know everything
    I want to be everywhere
    I want to fuck everyone in the world
    I want to do something that matters
