I tell myself I'm fine, I tell myself it's good I tell myself I'm living exactly like I should One more excuse to keep me where I am One more reason dressed up like a plan I've been the master of convincing me That the walls I built were actually keeping me free But the voice inside is getting harder to ignore It's knocking louder than it ever knocked before I can feel it coming, something's closing in The version of me I've buried underneath my skin Is scratching at the surface, screaming to get out And all I have left is one more lie to drown it out One more lie — just tell yourself you're okay One more lie — just get through another day One more lie to keep the fear at bay One more lie — But I'm running out of things to say I'm running out of things to say I almost jumped once, almost let it go Almost took the leap into something I don't know But I pulled back hard, told myself it's fine Drew myself back inside the safety of the line Now the line is burning and the ground is cracking through And every lie I tell myself is harder to get through I've been the architect of my own prison cell And I've been calling it my comfort, I've been calling it my shell I can feel the shaking underneath my feet The foundation of the story I've been telling is incomplete Every word I've used to keep myself in place Is dissolving at the edges, leaving nothing in its place One more lie — just tell yourself you're okay One more lie — just get through another day One more lie to keep the fear at bay One more lie — But I'm running out of things to say I'm running out of things to say I'm not okay I'm not okay I've never been okay with this I chose the cage I chose the chains I chose the life I didn't want to live And every morning that I woke up and I said "this is fine, this is enough, this is all there is" Was one more lie One more lie One more lie I told myself So I wouldn't have to feel like this One more lie — I can't tell myself I'm okay One more lie — I can't get through another day One more lie — I've got nothing left to say No more lies — No more lies — No more lies — No more... I'll brake the chain...
