Same Same Same

[Intro - slow build, restrained, melancholic] Wake up, it feels the same Same skin, same dull ache Made up, inside my brain Every thought just soaked in pain [Verse 1 - brooding, steady, held back] It's the dark that follows me to sleep An alarm that never seems to cease It's the devil and I'm at his feet It's a party that I just want to leave I've done my time now It's alright now But I feel it as it creeps Just be kind now It's in my mind now Making it hard to breathe [Chorus - full drop, emotionally heavy, driving] I'll try to run but the stage it follows me Like a jailer dressed up like who I used to be The voice in my head's got control of me Tells me I'm less than ordinary Therapist says it's only temporary But it makes me crave the cemetery Feels like everyone is staring At a boy whose burden's heavy Never asked for this pain, I was dealt it Never wanted to be this way, I just felt it [Verse 2 - bitter, more urgent than verse 1] Once I saw that I was losing me I opted in to go to therapy She says life is a state of being So where the hell do I find the meaning The ones I loved rewrote the ending Left me holding debts that weren't mine for lifting Funny how you get blamed for the attack While standing with a knife in your back [Pre-Chorus - same melody, heavier] I've done my time now It's alright now But please have tact Just be kind now It's in my mind now These feelings are stacked [Chorus - full drop, emotionally heavy, driving] I'll try to run but the stage it follows me Like a jailer dressed up like who I used to be The voice in my head's got control of me Tells me I'm less than ordinary Therapist says it's only temporary But it makes me crave the cemetery Feels like everyone is staring At a boy whose burden's heavy Never asked for this pain, I was dealt it Never wanted to be this way, I just felt it [Bridge - intimate, unsettling, tension peaks] Now you have to take your meds To get outside of your head It'll get you out of your bed But might make you wish you were... [pause, gunshot] It's better than leavin' A doctor's submission To a mental health prison Did you hear what they said? [Chorus - final, no new energy, just weight] I'll try to run but the stage it follows me Like a jailer dressed up like who I used to be The voice in my head's got control of me Tells me I'm less than ordinary Therapist says it's only temporary But it makes me crave the cemetery Feels like everyone is staring At a boy whose burden's heavy Never asked for this pain, I was dealt it Never wanted to be this way, I just felt it [Outro - no resolution, dissipates] Wake up, it feels the same Same skin, same dull ache Made up, inside my brain Every thought just soaked in pain Every thought just soaked in pain Every thought just... [Fade - unresolved]
