Lyrics

Taste the iron and spit
The copper and red
The skin on my lips
Is starting to split
Im starting to spin
Im losing my grip
Isolated and numb
I have become
That very thing
From which I have run
For all of my life
It's never enough
Oh my god it's taking over me and
Oh my god, my fathers son singing
Oh my god, I'm starting over again
Hang around in the park
Alone in the dark
Remembering ghosts
I hope where you are
Is better than here
Where I ended up
Make a permanent vow
For here and the now
Get out of my head
I hear what she said
You cling to the pain
In love with your dread
Oh my god, it's taking over me and
Oh my god, it's always haunting me and
Oh my god, I think I used to be fun
Stuck inside of a dream
And everything seems
To be falling short
Exceeding my means
I'm not burning out
I'm just losing steam
Oh my god, it's taking over me and
Oh my god, it's always haunting me and
Oh my god, I think I used to be fun
Oh my god it's taking over me and
Oh my god, my fathers son singing
Oh my god, I'm starting over again
