Verse 1
I'm playing cool and swell
But I've been through all hell
Trying to make a break think
And then forget about it
Better if it rings out
I'm acting through it all

Chorus 1
Making up excuses
Running from your eyes
Drowning in your side
Flooded in our blood
Underneath your water
Bound and gagged I fight
Gotta get undone
Cause I don't want to break
Post chorus 1:
I don't want to fake
I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I just want to get out

It's closing in somehow
Pressed up against me now
Get under my skin take
A knife and cut it out
I just want to get it out
The walls have closed somehow
