For three years, my life wasn't mine I spent the whole time trying to touch the sun When I did, my body burned up Years made up of crime, secret patterns, and parallel lines Just to find that telling the truth gets you crucified Replay and reiterate I lost my position and I'm struggling just to reinstate For those who haven't been here since the start I'll tell you how we lost our "dearly departed" An outcome that we all should've reached long ago Replay and reiterate How I lost the position that I'm struggling just to reinstate I was a child then Naïve enough not to raise the bar I was simply different Does anyone else have such scars? Or is it just me? Is it just me, Or is it that my own scars are too plain to see? I was a no-good youth who was desperate to hide how vile I felt underneath For those who haven't been here since the start I'll tell you how we lost our "dearly departed" An outcome everyone else reached long ago And long before me Oh, what a sad sight to have seen To have seen

You tried to push me out Because I spoke my mind You might've heard me out before But the terms weren't mine And now we're at a standstill And who's to draw the line? I never tried to start a fight I guess the pleasure's mine But was it ever over your head Blissful ignorance the whole time It's like we're back in high school again Wasting our whole damn lives The same cycles repeated again It's so plain to see Yet I'm the only one to see them And it's too much for me But was it ever over your head Blissful ignorance the whole time It's like we're back in high school again Fucking up our whole lives But was it ever over your head Blissful ignorance the whole time It's like we're back in high school again Trauma throughout our lives Don't stop here now, don't let it go How are we to live without damage control? Don't stop here now, don't let it go How are we to live without damage control? Don't stop here now, don't let it go How are we to live without damage control? Don't stop here now, don't let it go How are we to live, oh, how are we to live? (x2) You gave up All your empathy to oversee You gave up All your empathy to oversee You gave up All your empathy, you gave it up

Axis Access 02:44
Coffee and cigarette Sit home and hold my breath Waiting for what comes next Baby, it's not in your head Comes and goes in flashes You fucked up my axis Violence and madness Baby, it's not in your head First time I'm seeing red I feel it in my chest Coerced relations Baby, it's not in your head Unwanted access Sit home and hold my breath Violence and madness Baby, it's not in your head Baby, it's not in your head (×4) Sneak by without consent Voice raised, do what you said Voice breaks, do what you said Baby, it's not in your head Bloody nose and all-caps texts Said I must be perfect Or face the consequence Baby, it's not in your head Baby, it's not in your head (×4) Now you're asking me why You Crossed The line Now you're asking me why When you're The one Who crossed the line Coffee and cigarette Sit home and hold my breath Waiting for what comes next Baby, it's not in your head
