Lakes in Which to Drown In

lyrics

Sometimes we get so lost inside our own minds,
That we forget about the hard times that take a hold on those we love
I find myself lost like deer in headlights,
Never knowing when’s the right time to cross the road
Maybe that’s no fault of my own

Spent a lifetime running scared of my reflection,
Shattered glass cutting my soles as I’d flee
Spent a lifetime baring weight with no exception,
Avoiding mirrors cos I’m afraid of what I’d see

Red lights, checking boxes just to feel fine
A coward screaming into nothing while stronger people raise their shield

Spent a lifetime running scared of my reflection,
Shattered glass cutting my soles as I’d flee
Spent a lifetime baring weight with no exception,
Avoiding mirrors cos I’m afraid of what I’d see

Clambering aimlessly, clinging to pillars of strength that I’ve been dying to hold,
But my fingers are breaking with every grasp
Chasing rivers, hoping to find lakes in which to drown in

Spent a lifetime running scared of my reflection,
Shattered glass cutting my soles as I’d flee
