about

This song is about trying to find equal ground from six feet under.

lyrics

So,
My bedroom is filled with fog
That flooded in with the A/C
It coated everything I owned
It made it difficult to breathe
I tried opening the window
But it chose to stay inside with me

It turns out living in a cloud's
A lot like living in a dream
The details blur and fade away
Till I'm the only real thing
Till you are knocking on my door yelling
"Don't you fucking dare go back to sleep"

I can't go on like this
I don't have a choice
(He'll be alright)

There's a pain within my chest
It started up when I was eight
And there's a tremble in my breath
It started up when I was faking
Dull acceptance of your sentence
While reading articles on how to grieve the living
(Dies Irae)

It's so damn hard to stay alright
When I still face you everyday
You twist my thoughts into a fight
You light a fire and walk away
And leave me hopeless in the moment
Wishing desperately for fog instead of flames

I can't go on like this
I don't have a choice

I'm improvising alibis
And lying to your face
And hanging out in cults or maybe
I'm just masking the truth of things
For some normality
For how it used to be

Is it worth it?
