lyrics

Simplify your shell
Burn it to the ground
Let this return to ash

Wading through the day with my cereal toys
I'm burning through my skin, run on crooked limbs anyway
Fading from the light, creeping out of sight every day
Silence is a buzz and it's calling me back
The night is my only friend

Colors run and features start to blur now
when you're living only in the background
I'm spilling out like water from the faucet
I used to have the beat, but then I lost it
The world, it spits and speaks an ugly thunder,
so my shaky voice is going unheard
I hear the echoes of our distant laughter
Is it happiness I'm really after?
Summer's gone and autumn is approaching,
but I'll probably fuck it up like most things
If I can keep it up until November,
take a breath, at least try to remember
Let the light in, let the light in

Nullify your pain
Put it in your bag
Don't hold it in your hands
Don't you dare wake up
Hold onto that sound
Keep up as best you can

Wading through the day with my cereal buzz
Coffee on your breath, boring me to death
Can I just dream another life, feel like it's alright for a sec?
Fumbling with my words, let me be absurd here and there
Talking like I'm tough, never growing up, what the hell?
Getting nothing done, never see the sun
Maybe I'm not equipped to cope, can I keep afloat in the end?
The night is my only friend

Colors run and features start to blur now
when you're living only in the background
I'm spilling out like water from the faucet
I used to have the beat, but then I lost it
The world, it spits and speaks an ugly thunder,
so my shaky voice is going unheard
I hear the echoes of our distant laughter
Is it happiness I'm really after?
Summer's gone and autumn is approaching,
but I'll probably fuck it up like most things
If I can keep it up until November,
take a breath, at least try to remember
Let the light in, let the light in
