lyrics

it’s been a long time coming
so i don’t know why
i’m still up against a wall
i know i’ve been waiting
until the drop becomes a fall
to delay the knocking on lists of things
to eventually do
give in to the tension
allow the flame all my attention

been trying to grow
giving stop signs way too much weight
i’m back feeling numb
focused on every mess that i hate

breakdown, time out
shut down, call me out
i’m done, got a little too lost
forgot how to breathe
it’s coming at a huge cost
breakdown, lose it
meltdown, can’t choose it
i’m done, got a little absent
forgot how to gasp without cadence

watch the ink spill slow across the page
hide what i’m meant to do
letters stop flowing
indecisiveness starts growing
every second that i think about
the life i could have led
etch every intention
can’t make do without attention

been trying to grow
giving stop signs way too much weight
i’m back feeling numb
focused on every mess that i made

breakdown, time out
shut down, call me out
i’m done, got a little too lost
forgot how to breathe
it’s coming at a huge cost
breakdown, lose it
meltdown, can’t choose it
i’m done, got a little absent
forgot how to gasp without cadence

breakdown, flip out
back down, fail out
breakdown, incite
chaos, rewrite

it’s been a long time coming
so i don’t know why
i’m still up against a wall
i know i’ve been waiting
