Once you’ve seen it before, the images stay inside you, the feelings lock away in parts of your brain that won’t speak unless spoken to The color of the walls, the way her face looked when she waited for your answers, the time itself stays etched in the back of your mind Like pain, like fear, like everything you hold dear, your sanity is cracked. Come up for some air, now. Come up for some air now. . It’s not as bad as it seems. Bad as it seems It’s not all you’re making it to be. Because once you’ve seen it before. You can blow it out of proportion. Oh blow it out of proportion. Live inside the distortion. Blow you out of proportion. It’s not as bad as it seems Come up for air now Come up for air now Come up for air now Come up for air now The color of the walls (oh, the walls, the walls), bleeding tears falling upside down, her face shaking like a leaf in her husband’s arms, they left but his end is etched in the back of your mind He stays in the back of your mind It’s not all you’re making it to be. Because once you’ve seen it before. You can blow it out of proportion. Oh blow it out of proportion. Live inside the distortion. Blow you out of proportion. It’s not as bad as it seems Come up for air now Come up for air now You’ve blown it out of proportion Come up for air now Come up for air now He’s telling you (Oh, he’s telling you)….it’s not real // (not real, not real, it’s not real) Come up for air now// (come up for air…now//now//now) Come up for air now Pull yourself from underwater //(You’ve blown it out of proportion)
