Oh the tide is rising high

I see the signs but I’m powerless

Feel the rush overcoming me

don’t let my fate be the cold abyss

Tell me why do I obsess

Oh these waves are so relentless

I thought the storm would be over now

Anchor me

Anchor me

I’m afraid I’ll lose myself in the tempest

Anchor me

Anchor me

Don’t let me lose my way

I watch the lightning split the sky

Illuminating all my secrets

My pride has it out for me

Silently exploiting all my weaknesses

I can’t blame anyone else

I know I do this to myself

Anchor me

Anchor me

I’m afraid I’ll lose myself in the tempest

Anchor me

Anchor me

Don’t let me lose my way

The pulling of the tide

The pulsing of the waves

The fury in the sky

Don’t let me lose my way

In the tempest

Anchor me

Anchor me

I’m afraid I’ll lose myself in the tempest

Anchor me

Anchor me

Don’t let me lose my way

Rope is burning my hands

Burning my hands

My grip is failing

Pray that if I’m gonna fall

You’re gonna come rescue me

Smell the rain in the air

Rain in the air

The sky is churning

Safety between you and me

Safety is all that I need

Tell me what’s the point of it now

Quit dragging this out

I’m stuck here in the in between

Suffocating in un uncertainty

I’m stuck here but I’m not that naïve

Were you lying to yourself or me

Tears are burning my eyes

Burning my eyes

But I can’t help it

Pray that if I’m gonna fall

I’m gonna land on my feet

Taste the smoke in the air

Smoke in the air

Who are we kidding

Distrust, the fire you feed

Consumes the future we dreamed

Tell me what’s the point of it now

Quit dragging this out

I’m stuck here in the in between

Suffocating in un uncertainty

I’m stuck here but I’m not that naïve

Were you lying to yourself or me

Should I release what’s in my head

Or is it better left unsaid

I’m stuck here in the in between

Suffocating in un uncertainty

I’m stuck here but I’m not that naïve

Were you lying to yourself or me

To yourself or me

I can taste the blood as I bite my tongue

I hold back the flood

Some songs remain unsung

Scream the reasons why I don’t measure up

I’m not worth your time

Drag me through the mud

But I catch my breath I look straight ahead

I have nothing to prove

I have nothing to prove

I’m done waiting here for the smoke to clear

I have nothing to prove

I have nothing to prove

Do you realize you put me through hell

Look me in the eyes

If you know me so well

I don’t harbor hate, have no stones to throw

Trust will take some time

Grace will carry us home

But I catch my breath I look straight ahead

I have nothing to prove

I have nothing to prove

I’m done waiting here for the smoke to clear

I have nothing to prove

I have nothing to prove

Second guessing my intentions

Analyzing my reflection

It’s hard with all the smoke and mirrors

Second guessing my intentions

Analyzing my reflection

It’s hard with all the smoke and mirrors

But I catch my breath I look straight ahead

I have nothing to prove

I have nothing to prove

I’m done waiting here for the smoke to clear

I have nothing to prove

I have nothing to prove

I’m sick to my stomach

You keep shoving words in my mouth

And I try to rise above it

But the lies you believe cut me down

It plays in my mind

It echos until I go mad

But I can’t make it right

I’ve tried but you’re ironclad

Oh oh is this what you wanted?

Oh oh I wish you’d be honest

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs

But I can’t make you hear me

I can’t make you hear me

I’m bleeding to prove to you my love

But I can’t make you believe me

I can’t make you believe me

Tell me am I your ally

Or am I your nemesis

I have finally realized

You can’t convince a skeptic

Oh oh is this what you wanted?

Oh oh I wish you’d be honest

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs

But I can’t make you hear me

I can’t make you hear me

I’m bleeding to prove to you my love

But I can’t make you believe me

I can’t make you believe me

Is this what you wanted

I wish you’d me honest

But I’ve cleared my conscience

Now I’m letting you go

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs

But I can’t make you hear me

I can’t make you hear me

I’m bleeding to prove to you my love

But I can’t make you believe me

I can’t make you believe me

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs

I can’t make you hear me

I can’t make you hear me

Comfort is a slow deception

A self imposed asphyxiation

Am I dissolving going numb

Apathetic to what I used to love

But I can’t deny that my soul is unsettled, my soul is unsettled by you

One more step closer to you

With every breath my endurance renews

I want more, I won’t settle

Just one more step closer, closer to you

Perfection is a fatal cycle

Misguided torment, reprisal

I dissect obsessively

My own worst critic, show no sympathy

But I can’t deny that my soul is unsettled, my soul is unsettled by you

One more step closer to you

With every breath my endurance renews

I want more, I won’t settle

Just one more step closer, closer to you

I resist my spirit shrinking back

Brace for the impact

Can I face the music, can I face myself

Pour my heart out till there’s nothing left

One more step closer to you

With every breath my endurance renews

I want more, I won’t settle

Just one more step closer, closer to you

Closer to you

Tension twisting in my chest

Bitterness lingers on my breath

My mind is a carousel circling, circling

Cue the paralyzing pain

Your spell keeps me cold and grey

I hate myself for letting you have this hold on me

I can’t get you out of my head

I can’t get you out of my head

Why isn’t my heart done bleeding yet

I can’t get you out of my head

Just when I think I’m over it

My mind triggers another spin

Turns out I’m no better than you at letting grudges go

This might be a mistake

I’m digging another grave

To asphyxiate all the anger I’m not ready to face

I can’t get you out of my head

I can’t get you out of my head

Why isn’t my heart done bleeding yet

I can’t get you out of my head

I let this wound bleed out

Til my knees hit the ground

I can’t get you out of my head

I can’t get you out of my head

Why isn’t cmy heart done bleeding yet

I can’t get you out of my head

I don’t think my heart will let me forget

I can’t get you out of my head

I’m trapped in this glass house

You see my every move

If I shatter this glass house

Will it become my tomb

Don’t come too close I don’t want you to know

I keep finding horrors in the caverns of my soul

Can I be real? I don’t understand how I feel

I’m not sure I like the darkness I’m finding inside

Am I allowed to be broken just for a moment

Am I allowed to be broken

What if my pen leaves stains I can’t wash away

What if it’s all in vain and still the pain remains

I’m trapped in this glass house

You see my every move

If I shatter this glass house

Will it become my tomb

Do I need time? Can you ease my tortured mind

Maybe you can give perspective I could never find

I know I’m flawed, I’m human after all

But if I stay above reproach will that make all my pain dissolve

Am I allowed to be broken just for a moment

Am I allowed to be broken

What if my pen leaves stains I can’t wash away

What if it’s all in vain and still the pain remains

I’m trapped in this glass house

You see my every move

If I shatter this glass house

Will it become my tomb
