Lyrics:

I am a captive held inside this skull.
I would let you in but my head is just too full
Of thoughts and fears that I'm not willing to face.
And it seems that I'm stuck in my head again.

Distance is the sea.
Self-perceptions, the clouds above me.
If I'm floating facedown, it's not where I wanted to be.
Deadweight in confusion drifting further away.

And I'm beginning to think that I care too much.
That this cycle of overthinking is what's killing me.
I'm always overthinking everything.

I will push you away.
I wish you didn't have to leave,
But i always knew that I couldn't stay.
Still trying to forgive.
Still trying to forget.
But I don't want to love
Because the burning flavor lingers on my tongue.
Still tastes like regret.
And I don't know how to let you in.

Distance is the sea.
Self-perceptions, the ball and chain.
If I'm floating facedown, it's not where I wanted to be.
Deadweight in confusion drifting further away.

Those not so distant memories...
They haunt me...
The demons inside me...
They don't let me sleep...
"Let me be." (I lay awake in my bed)
"Won't you just let me be."
The demons inside me...
They don't let me sleep.

I always do this to myself.
I'll be the fire, destroy everything good in my life.
I will always run away.
I don't believe that I deserve this love anymore.

My heart is broken and I'm starting to think.
My mind is an ocean and I'm starting to sink.
