Tangled in the Trees

When I wake up, it still sees me
I feel it following me around
I can’t break it, I won’t make it
And there’s never time to slow this down
When I wake up, I see it waiting
Any chance to knock me off my feet
Wish I could end this, I’ll never fix it
A suicide on repeat
Go away each time I need to, to get through
Go away each night I slip away
I built a smile, to buy my way back in
Victor of this war of attrition
You will bleed the same as me
We are lost together
I know I am
My favorite fucking lie, you get another try
Life or death both come easy, giving up the watchful eye
Fully loaded to burn out, what’s stopping your escape
Duck out on obligation, time to say your good bye
The stars climb through the darkness creeping as I am leaving
The light tangled up above, I hope that I’m still breathing
