[Verse 1] The second it’s mentioned, the knot starts to tie A familiar phantom, a well-rehearsed lie My skin getting hot and it’s starting to itch The tension is throwing a dangerous switch Helicopter throbbing, a beat in my ears Drowning out all of the snark and the sneers My chest is on fire, the pressure is real I’m trapped in a body that’s too sick to feel [Chorus] And I just want to run, but I sit here and stay Walking on eggshells to get through the day I destroy myself slowly for everyone else While I lock all my pieces away on a shelf Always a fire to put out or control While it festers and burns in the depth of my soul I just want it to stop, I just want it to cease Can somebody give me a second of peace? [Verse 2] There’s always a comment, there’s always a show Emotional turmoil wherever we go Someone to please and someone to tend A cycle of damage that feels without end I smile and I act like it’s perfectly fine While I choke on the smoke at the end of my line The feelings they linger, they never get out Buried too deep for a scream or a shout [Chorus] And I just want to run, but I sit here and stay Walking on eggshells to get through the day I destroy myself slowly for everyone else While I lock all my pieces away on a shelf Always a fire to put out or control While it festers and burns in the depth of my soul I just want it to stop, I just want it to cease Can somebody give me a second of peace? [Bridge] (Music drops out completely - heavy, atmospheric, cinematic silence) No needs. No wants. No plans. No sound. No feelings. Nothing. Just fucking... silence. [Outro] (Guitars slowly swell back in, heavy and slow) Just give me the silence... Until I hit play. Until I hit play. Let the world just pause... Until I hit play.
