Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were tight but it falls apart as silver turns to blue
Waxing with a candlelight and burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment and stick it in a box
I've never been an extrovert but I'm still breathin'
[Verse 2]
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
(It's what I'm afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache
(It's what I'm afraid of)
[Verse 3]
With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold and what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top
I've always been an introvert, happily bleedin'
[Verse 4]
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
(It's what I'm afraid of)
Someone tried to do me ache
(It's what I'm afraid of)
[Verse 5]
Four, seven, two, three, nine, eight, five
I gotta breathe to stay alive
And one, four, two, nine, seven, eight
Feels like I'm gonna suffocate
Fourteen, sixteen, twenty two
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders, toes, and knees, I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders, toes, and knees, I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders, toes, and knees, I'm 36 degrees
Shoulders, toes, and knees, 36 degrees
