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
