Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw that gap again today, yeah
While you were begging me to stay
Take care not to make me enter
If I do, we both may disappear
[Verse 2]
I will choke until I swallow
Choke this infant here before me
What is this but my reflection?
Who am I to judge or strike you down?
[Verse 3]
But you're pushing and shoving
Pushing and shoving
Pushing and shoving
Pushing and shoving
[Verse 4]
Yeah, you're pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
[Verse 5]
You still love me, you still love me
She didn't need to push it on me
You still love me, you still love me
She didn't mean to push it on me
[Verse 6]
Rest your trigger on my finger
Bang my head upon the fault line
You'd better take care not to make me enter
'Cause if I do, we both may disappear
[Verse 7]
But you're pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
[Verse 8]
You still love me, you still love me
She didn't mean to push it on me
You're pushing and shoving me
Pushing and shoving me
[Verse 9]
Yeah, I'm slipping back into the gap again
I'm alive when you're touching me
Alive when you're shoving me down
But I'd trade it all
For just a little
Peace of mind
[Verse 10]
Push it on me, push it on me
Push it on me, push it on me
You're pushing and shoving and scrambling
Keep my feet flat on the ground
[Verse 11]
I am somewhere I don't wanna be, yeah
Push me somewhere I don't wanna be
Put me somewhere I don't wanna be
Seeing someplace I don't wanna see
Never wanna see that place again
[Verse 12]
Saw that gap again today, yeah
While you were begging me to stay
Managed to push myself away
And you as well, my dear
[Verse 13]
If, when I say I might fade like a sigh if I stay
You minimize my movement anyway
I must persuade you another way
[Verse 14]
Pushing and shoving
Pushing and shoving, pushing me
[Verse 15]
There's no love in fear
[Verse 16]
Yeah, I'm staring down the hole again
Hands are on my back again
Survival is my only friend
Terrified of what may come, yeah
[Verse 17]
Remember I will always love you
As I claw your fucking throat away
It will end no other way
It will end no other way
