Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This party is nearly over
Lately, love feels cynical
Calloused mind of self destruction
Lately I don't know
[Verse 2]
Don't be so self destructive
I can't hide, I'm feeling fallow
Don't be so self destructive
This list seems so endless
Just wanna plateau
Don't be so self destructive
Raise, he's a raise it all
Don't be so self destructive
This isolation starts with feeling more
[Verse 3]
I cannot bare to see my thorn
Disconnection, disconnection
The ship is where this ship has fallen
Disconnection, disconnection
I keep guard and I feel less strong
Disconnection, disconnection
Here where our bodies don't belong
Disconnection, disconnection
[Verse 4]
Found a way to love around
I am tired out, I am
I'm tired out
Found a way to love the world
I remember the place where I first felt ashamed
Of my body and space
I was wrong, I was wrong
[Verse 5]
I cannot bare to see my thorn
Disconnection, disconnection
The ship is where this ship has fallen
Disconnection, disconnection
I keep guard and I feel less strong
Disconnection, disconnection
Here where our bodies don't belong
Disconnection, disconnection
[Verse 6]
It's just hold out
You gotta hold out, it will come
But it's stronger bound
When we were young and often maddened
Hold out, hold out, come
Please just hold out, hold out and come
And you've gotta hold out, hold out and come
I can't help but feelin' help was
Hold out, hold out, it'll come
Can't promise almost over
Hold out, hold out, it'll come
I'm sorry, it's always been there
