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

Breakdown

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

Verse 2

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
