Anchor
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.
Faster we are sinking
Still, we take our time
Backwards way of thinking
No reason, no rhyme
Silent screams don't whisper a single word
Fast asleep, this ignorance is more than you deserve
Even though we sink
We don't even try
This punishment doesn't fit the
Crime
Torture
Without change
More of the same
Stop closing open doors
Doors
Cancel my tomorrow
I've got no chance
Finding comfort in denial
Get used to the mask
I can't bare to look
Though I'm wanting to
Watch me sink my hooks
It's a part of always being afraid
I've been thinking I'm insane
Forget the way
Forget the way you were
Were
Were
Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I swear
I swear this time I'm getting back to good
When will I (Will I)
Wake up (Wake up)?
Will I ever learn?
It's just the same old story
Same old ball and chain
Ball and chain
Same old story
Same old ball and chain
Will forever decays
Slipping away
Could be permanent
I'll articulate
If you want me to
I'll articulate
Will forever decays
I've been thinking I'm insane
Forget the way
Forget the way you were
Were
Were
Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I swear
I swear this time I'm getting back to good
When will I (Will I)
Wake up (Wake up)?
Will I ever learn?
It's just the same old story
Same old ball and
Caught in the wave
Ride it all the way down
Don't just stand there lifeless
It's all just a game
Caught in the wave
Ride it all the way down
Don't just stand there lifeless
It's all a game
It's all just a game
All a game
All a game
Faster we are sinking
Still, we take our time
It's a backwards way of thinking
No reason
I've been thinking I'm insane
Forget the way
Forget the way you were
Were
Were
Sorry, I can't take it anymore, I swear
I swear this time I'm getting back to good
When will I (Will I)
Wake up (Wake up)?
Will I ever learn?
Same old story
Same old ball and chain
Same old ball and chain
Chain
