Lyrics
My heart beats, my lungs breathe
And yet I'm drowning
Underneath the sea
My eyes glance, my mouth speaks
And yet I'm drowning
Right inside of me
Don't you know that I am hurt?
Can't you see me fade away?
The monsters got a hold of me
And I'm afraid they're here to stay
Don't you know that I am hurt?
Can't you see me fade away?
The monsters got a hold of me
And I am not
I am not okay
When I look into the mirror
I see an unfamiliar face
Those tattoos are clearly mine
But I can't feel myself
I make a cut and I can breathe again
Until the shame creeps in
I'm too weak
I'm too dumb
I'm too shy
God knows why
Why am I so complicated?
Don't you know that I am hurt?
Can't you see me fade away?
The monsters got a hold of me
And I'm afraid they're here to stay
Don't you know that I am hurt?
Can't you see me fade away?
The monsters got a hold of me
And I am not
I am not okay
My heart beats, my lungs breathe
And yet I'm drowning
Underneath the sea
My eyes glance, my mouth speaks
But no one sees
The void inside of me
I scratch my arms until they bleed
Need to get this tension out of me
All I wanna do is sleep tonight
But my thoughts run deep
I'm too fat
I'm too dumb
I'm too shy
God knows why
Why is life so complicated?
I text you
"Sorry, I can't come tonight"
And another tie gets severed
When all I want to say is
"Give me a call"
Maybe come over
Let's talk
Or even sit in silence
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I just can't be on my own tonight
I am not okay
All I wanna say is
"No, I'm not okay!"
Listen to me
I don't live, I don't die
I don't live, I survive
I am not okay
Go away
I am not okay
I am not okay
I fade away
