[Verse 1] I’m digging out a space where the light can’t reach Practicing the silence that I’ve tried to preach I’m looking for a hole... looking for a seam To tuck away the parts of me that only want to scream. It’s not that I’m lonely. It’s not that I’m cold. It’s just that this residue has left me unable To set all the pieces out on the table. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t want to cause the shadows between us. I don’t want to be the tension in the room. I’m wearing this lead vest to contain the rust... Trying to save you from my own gloom. [Chorus] I want to feel loved. I want to be known. But I’m terrified the weight of this shame will become your own. I want to be supported. I want to be bare. But I’m scared if I bleed, I’ll poison the air. I’m crawling in a hole... it’s a desperate need. Saving you from the static I bleed. [Verse 2] You see a warrior. I see a stain. You see the sunrise. I just feel the rain. I’ve scoured the lens, but the glass is still cracked. I’m trying to keep the shadows in the back... But they’re leaking through the rivets, heavy and black. I’m keeping my mouth shut so you don't have to carry the pack. [Bridge] Is it love? Or is it just a containment breach? If I let you see the hole... Will you jump in? Or will you just realize... I’m not the upgrade you thought I was. [Outro] Saving you from me. Saving you from me. Dead air.
