Desperation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Whoa, I wanna be insane
I wanna show the world
I wanna show them all the shit to change
Some slow me down
So I can't turn the page
So everyone can know we're all the same
No matter who's to blame
So turn your fucking head around
Me on my knees
Feeling lost in desperation
And I'm longing to be free
I'm here, begging please
Save me from the isolation
Somewhere I can finally breathe
I can breathe
Run around the truth again
You live for wasted time
You lie to cover all your shit again
Somebody slow me down
So you can see me here
You know I've heard a thousand times
And all you do is lie
So turn your fucking head around
Me on my knees
Feeling lost in desperation
And I'm longing to be free
I'm here, begging please
Save me from the isolation
Somewhere I can finally breathe
I can breathe
Someone show me
You can reach down low
I'm sinking below here
Someone show me
Someone show me
Yeah, I'm sinking further below
Me on my knees
Feeling lost in desperation
And I'm longing to be free
I'm here, begging please
Save me from the isolation
Somewhere I can finally breathe
I can breathe
I can breathe
I can breathe
