Lyrics
I'm going crazy in here
I feel lazy this year
It's all wrong
Why did I say
I never want us to stay alone
Enemies draw near to me
But I can't get the best of them
Invariably, I'm tangled in these lies
(Chorus)
But hold me down
You know I'm hurt
Broken down, but we'll never learn
How can I belabor this life?
I'm ripped apart inside
I'm going crazy in here
And being consumed with fear of my own
Why did I say we should raise the odds or go home?
Enemies drawn near to me
But I can't get the best of them
Invariably, I'm tangled in these lies
(Chorus)
Here, with lives steeped in fear
Where futures don't seem clear
I am all alone
Now you'll figure me out
My life is one big doubt
And I want to go home
