lyrics

Blast off
to the times I thought you gave a shit..
I often thought
that my pilot light was far from lit.
Reminded of
how you simulate a heart attack,
Olympia
is a better place without you holding me back.

I'll find some peace of mind
Shut your small trap
Oh, it would never last please stab my back
Too late, this black wave crashes over me I only see you.

At least my parents had
enough sense to separate and save
my state of mind
for years to come so I could leave that all behind.

Drowning below, drowning below
Don't cover my eyes enemy spies
Comfort decayed, comfort decayed
These pictures are stale in many ways
This ladder was my final mistake
Can't be erased.

I sullenly take the blame for everything
Giving your hand the desperate clutch I know I need
Foraging through these past days, they're not the same
Pulling the grass, digging deep, I'm fair game.

Bleed it out
Screaming loudly
I'll pretend
Living lightly
To be your friend
I'll be so kind
Never again
Oh never mind
Kill me now
Kill me right here
Take it away
Take all my tears
Pass the days
Nothing happened
It's better this way
Times I'm trapped in
Little tears
I was shaking
Little thoughts
You were faking
Bigger fears
Nowhere to run
So disraught
I think I'm done.

I'm nowhere
Never was
1 o'clock
Sitting on the dock
I'll unwind
In my mind
In my bed
This is my home
In my head.
