Just a physical ailment Dive back into stalemate, check I don't wanna waste time No, it's not the same lines But we're getting warm from a snake bite Yeah I'm gonna hate the part of me that wanted better Maybe it was back then when I wrote a letter Same words but I put a different spin around it I don't wanna fantasize about it When I think about it And if I could turn around would I keep on running Would my heartbeat settle down if you whisper something Isn't that what the weight meant To keep me complacent Alive just to drink in a basement But with the pain in my chest And a little finesse Could I make a song out of simple text I hold my breath for a chance To write away all that stress And I want it to fill you with distress You say I'm dragging you down Isn't that what you really wanted What you always think about at night Yeah trauma changes your life Cutting me open Face to face You've seen the worst And haven't changed The subtle taste The constant chase Never the same I find it hard to relate Is this another empty effort of yours to articulate The slow decay Self-medicate or destruct There's no one standing in your way You say I'm dragging you down Isn't that what you really wanted What you always think about at night Yeah trauma changes your life You say I'm dragging you down Isn't that what you really wanted What you always think about at night Yeah trauma changes your life
