Lyrics
[Intro]
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
[Verse 1]
I told myself that this was it
Hiding plainly in my skin
I told myself to find some help
Or just replace me
[Verse 2]
Pulling me
Away from this
I packed up all of my stuff, you've broken my trust, taken all of me
Erasing me, all I can see
Is your lies and your duality
[PreChorus]
Down, I'm falling, spiralling out of control
I'm losing, all I've found inside my soul
You were just a nightmare
Taking everything that you gave to me
[Chorus]
These broken pieces that I've left
Hiding plainly in my skin (Hiding in my skin)
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
I can feel your fingertips buried underneath my skin (Hiding in my skin)
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
[Verse 3]
Now, you're floating, transcending above the clouds
You're gloating, at the things you have allowed
You created a nightmare
Down here in this mess, you do not exist
[Bridge]
We are Godless
[Bridge]
Fucking Godless
[Bridge]
Fucking Godless
[Refrain]
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
I told myself, I told myself
[Chorus]
These broken pieces that I've left
Hiding plainly in my skin (Hiding in my skin)
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
I can feel your fingertips buried underneath my skin (Hiding in my skin)
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
[Outro]
I told myself I'm not gonna make it
