[Verse 1] Because nothing is wrong enough to say out loud I’m just a face in the back of the crowd I’m not bleeding, I’m not broken, I’m not on the floor So why does it feel like I can’t take anymore? I read a thread today that said you chose the way you bleed That if I just stopped wanting it, I wouldn't feel the need They said have some empathy for the blade Like the cut is just a mistake that I made [Chorus] It’s a special kind of arrogance to think I’m in control To think I’m the architect of this deep dark hole Choose not to bleed, that’s what they said Like it’s a switch I can just flip inside my head [Verse 2] Maybe if I love the damage, it won't hurt as bad Maybe if I own the chaos, I won't feel so sad So let’s just pretend that I’m busy tonight That everything’s normal and everything’s alright It’s not a lie if I believe it for a second or two It’s just the only way I can get back to you [Bridge] So I’ll keep it inside, locked under the skin Waiting for the real disaster to finally begin Maybe then I’ll speak up, maybe then I’ll cry But for now, I’m just fine, yeah, I’m just getting by [Chorus] It’s a special kind of arrogance to think I’m in control To think I’m the architect of this deep dark hole Choose not to bleed, that’s what they said Like it’s a switch I can just flip inside my head [Outro] Locked under the skin Just getting by Waiting for the real disaster to finally begin Yeah, I'm just fine
