Lyrics
The darkness is sneaking in
It creeps into my window and seeps deep into my skin
It sinks into every pore
And before you know it inside out I'm torn
I'm not crazy
Well maybe a little bit
But this admission doesn't get me through it
Thoughts on repeat
I am unraveling
Everything's affecting me
How do I change my scene
Maybe it's smart to start with my heart
And wear my guts on the outside of my sleeve
The sweet relief of waking up
Knowing that my dreams are hell and life is only rough
I can hear the screams, turn on the light
I need a little self-defense tonight
So I'm crazy
Now what do I do with it
Thoughts on repeat
I am unraveling
Everything's affecting me
How do I change my scene
Maybe it's smart to start with my heart
And wear my guts on the outside of my sleeve
I'm not crazy
Well maybe a little bit
But this admission doesn't get me through it
Thoughts on repeat
I am unraveling
Everything's affecting me
How do I change my scene
Maybe it's smart to start with my heart
Maybe it's smart to start with my heart
Maybe it's smart to start with my heart
And wear my guts on the outside of my sleeve
How is this happening
How do I salvage me
How do I change my scene
Maybe it's smart to start with my heart
And wear my guts on the outside of my sleeve.
