lyrics

What've we become?
To forfeit all this time
I think I'll give it up
and take back what is mine
I wrote another chapter
Another story in my book
Not about life but what comes after
It's exactly how it looks
I think I'll give it up
I think I'll give it up

These bitter things inside of me,
They cut me up inside
I'm bleeding out internally
I forgot to feel alive
Let it fall by the wayside
Your bookend on a shelf
A bit of breathing to help you pass the time
I guess you gave up on yourself
I guess you're giving up
I guess you're giving up

A shiver down my spine
Ignore my calls
I've got nowhere to roam
