Face Eater

I’m worn from trying just to fit inside your day You say it’s fine, but I can feel you fall away We laugh it off like nothing ever cracks But I can see the truth behind your back You stare right through me like I’m made of glass I bite my tongue so I don’t talk out of my ass You call me chaos, call it charm But we both know it’s just a false alarm You can haunt my head when I close my eyes Take the rent I can’t afford inside Stay until the silence starts to bite Stay until the feeling dies tonight I can name a thousand ways to leave But none of them make sense to me You patch my cracks and call it care But I was never really whole (hole) in there You’re too calm, too good for what I bring I crave the crash, not the settling It’s not your fault, it’s how I’m wired A slow burn fire that always tires You can haunt my head when I close my eyes Take the rent I can’t afford inside Stay until the silence starts to bite Stay until the feeling dies tonight She don’t need saving, she don’t need me She’s got her circle, she’s running free They speak in secret, “He’s just chasing thrill” But they don’t know she loves it still You can haunt my head when I close my eyes Take the rent I can’t afford inside Stay until the silence starts to bite Stay until it breaks… tonight
