Going down, going down with the sirens
Bring me down, bring me down, witness the violence
You'll have to figure me out
Pretend to be what the eyes can see
How would you know that there's a void inside of me?
I've been hiding in my plain sight to save me
And when it all comes undone who's gonna take it away
What if I told the voice in my head
That I've always been trying my best, so what's left to give?
But in the end I just feel so dead
If I keep hiding away then what's left to live?
Do you really wanna know what it feels like from the inside?
But what you will find won't be what's on the outside
I hate that I don't have the strength
I hate that I'm a fucking slave
Worst part is I know what you will find
Won't be what's on the outside
(I hate that I'm a fucking slave)
I'm such a fucking slave
God, I'm done, yeah I'm done with the silence
Bring me down, bring me down, erase the violence
I can't quite figure it out
Why can't I heal, this can't be real
I'm lost in the void and I can't barely feel
Tryna seize a world that can't be
The choices that I make lead to the end of me
What if I told the voice in my head?
If you don't want me to change, then how could I?
But in the end I just feel so dead
If I keep hiding away then what's left to live?
Do you really wanna know what it feels like from the inside?
But what you will find won't be what's on the outside
I hate that I don't have the strength
I hate that I'm a fucking slave
Worst part is I know what you will find
Won't be what's on the outside
I became someone that I don't want to be
This void is all I can see
When nothing is left down inside of me
Who's gonna set me free?
Who's gonna set me free?
Who's gonna set me free?
