Lyrics

There's a pain in my lungs
I would like to scream out
But there's something that keeps me from screaming
And there are days in this life
When I feel without doubt
That my insides are boiling and steaming

There's a fear in my eyes
That my tears won't wash out
And those tears won't be quenching my thirst
There are nights spent awake
'Cause my heartbeat's so loud
That I wait for my ribcage to burst

[Wordless Interlude]

There's a pain in my head
I would like to knock out
But I can't 'cause my skull is a prison
There are days in this life
When I know without doubt
It's your love and my egoism

There are mornings I wake
And all meaning is gone,
Someone stole it away in my sleep
There are nights when I fear
Nothing I've ever done
Was quite worth it to fall this deep...

[Wordless Interlude]

Though I know that my surface looks fragile and tender
My voice and my bones, they are easy to break
I've no obvious thorns, I'm just soft skin and flesh,
But beneath all this,
there burns a fire

Though I know that my surface looks fragile and tender
My voice and my bones, they are easy to break
I've no obvious thorns, I'm just soft skin and flesh,
But beneath all this
there burns a fire.

A fire
A fire

Did you know that this body's a cage?
Did you know beyond my smile there lies rage?
So here I am now repeating myself
'til the echoes wake me up
So here I am now repeating myself
'til the echoes wake me up
'til the echoes wake me up
The echoes break me
