Unable To Break Free
I just want to feel numb
Don’t want to take another chance
Stopped hoping you’ll come
But can’t help myself a glance
Every time I stop falling over
Hanging on the seconds between breaths
You seem to creep back
Shredding my progress into a mess
Did you study my weaknesses
Plan a plague on my soul
Let me bleed out with no evidence
But what about the bankroll
Is it just our bodies
Cause I see our minds melting too
I sit and settle
Then you go and have a breakthrough
We had our walls
Our windowless place
Except the curtain fell
Now the words can’t be erased
