lyrics

The weekends try to, but don't make things better
When I put on my mask I seem so much stronger

Do I make mistakes?
Do I ever fix them?
I dwell on the past to escape from the end that is near,
because breathing's inhaling the fumes from the social machine that keeps burning the hate we create.

I wish I was able to try hard, but its too hard to satisfy myself and the people around me when we're doing the best we know how.

The weeks feel longer the longer I keep myself here
But I cannot leave due to fear of critique of my failures by family and peers

Why do I mistake my progress for nothing?
I guess its just me or the feeling that something is slowly pulling me away...

But its no different, it's all the same; being content and constant worrying.
So I'll learn to live with the changing tides now, and we'll keep on going the best we know how.
