Lyrics

[Verse 1]

there is a game i play

try to make myself okay

try so hard to make the pieces all fit

smash it apart

just for the fuck of it

[Verse 2]

BYE BYE OOOH

GOT TO GET BACK TO THE BOTTOM

THE BIG COME DOWN ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANTED?

BYE BYE OOOH

FIND A PLACE WITH THE FAILED AND FORGOTTEN

ISN'T THAT REALLY WHAT YOU WANTED NOW?

[Verse 3]

there is no place i can go there is no way i can hide

it feels like it keeps coming from the inside

[Verse 4]

THERE IS A HATE THAT BURNS WITHIN

the most desperate place i have ever been

try to get back to where i'm from

THE CLOSER I GET THE WORSE IT BECOMES

THE CLOSER I GET THE WORSE IT BECOMES

[Verse 5]

there is no place i can go there is no place i can hide

it feels like it keeps coming from the inside
