lyrics

Verse 1:

Making choices to plan ahead
Facing the facts of my life to create an end
(Having regrets)
Keeping grounds just to not collapse
Drowning your words, talk is cheap
(Can we make amends)
Packing bags just to stay instead
Ignoring chances that could have been
Drawing lines between fiction and fact
Asking why if I know that I can

Chorus:

Breaking my knees just to get what I need
Only to find that this work wasn't worth it
Clenching my teeth while my hands start to bleed
The ground is slipping out under my feet

Verse 2:

Feeling deprived of sleep again
Daylight goes into the night as I draw the line
(Just let it go)
Burning pages to skip ahead
Ending the book, light a match
(Watch the story end)
Watching sand in the hourglass
Watching my future repeat my past
Drawing lines between fiction and fact
Asking why if I know that I can

Chorus:

Breaking my knees just to get what I need
Only to find that this work wasn't worth it
Clenching my teeth while my hands start to bleed
The ground is slipping out under my feet

Falling under losing ground
Falling under losing ground
(Falling Under)

I never thought I'd be the one to let it get this far
I never thought I'd be the one to break
