tongue-biter

(album: SEPARATE - 2021)

Revelation
It lurks beneath
Though it can't be seen
Peel back my skin to get a peek
Degradation
Of parts of me
Ideals not reached
Self-fulfilling prophecy

Just get me out of my mind
I'm lost somewhere inside
Am I determined to hide?
From anyone who
Gives a fuck
Just let me self-destruct
While never coming undone
(While never coming undone)

I know I'm not alone
But still it's so hard to show
How I've felt and I've kept it all inside myself
'Cause when there's love, I tend to run
I swore I'd never become
Who I am today, is it too late?

In spite of how hard I've tried
In no one, I confide
I'll just pretend and I'll lie
I'll say I'm fine
But it's a bluff
And no one's called it once
Cause I'm not coming undone
(I'm not coming undone)

I know I'm not alone
But still it's so hard to show
How I've felt and I've kept it all inside myself
'Cause when there's love, I tend to run
I swore I'd never become
Who I am today, is it too late?

Is it too late?
For me to rip it apart
Deconstruct the machine
I've built in my head
Crossing the wires
It says "I'm better off dead"
(I'm coming undone)

I know I'm not alone
But still it's so hard to show

I know I'm not alone
But still it's so hard to show
How I've felt and I've kept it all inside myself
'Cause when there's love, I tend to run
I swore I'd never become
Who I am today, is it too late?
