about

This song is about the crippling realization that eventually many will have to give up on their dreams. Whether it be music, art, acting, etc. A time comes for so many people where they have to maintain a self-sufficient lifestyle, and unfortunately that might mean working your life away at a job that you might hate.

lyrics

These thoughts always find their way back in
Digging, leeching
I needed a sight worth seeing
Digging, leeching
I needed a heart worth beating

It feels like the end
When I move in slow motion
Another body adrift in the ocean
Is there more than just endlessly coping
A part of me starving
A part of me hoping
Only one could survive
Only one could effect my mind
Is there more than just endlessly coping
A part of me starving
A part of me

You wanted more from this life
seems meaningless to survive
imagine burning alive in the limelight
The phantoms from your lips remind you you've lost your time
Imagine burning alive in the limelight
In the limelight

What's pain when the heart's still beating
What's life when its lost all meaning
What's the point of open eyes only fixated on the fucking ceiling
Deep breaths but I'm barely breathing
Should I be afraid of leaving
Just needed a sight worth seeing
Should I be afraid
Should I make my mind up I'm so sick of all this contemplating
Feeling like my time's up only memories to keep me waiting
Feels like I'm lighting my mind up slowly just from thinking back
Their favorite phrase is "believe in yourself" but I can't put faith in that

Help me
There's something growing and it's taking over everything

It feels like the end
When I move in slow motion
Another body adrift in the ocean
Is there more than just endlessly coping
A part of me starving
A part of me hoping
Only one could survive
Only one could effect my mind
Is there more than just endlessly coping
A part of me starving
A part of me

You wanted more
You deserve more
You wanted more from this life
seems meaningless to survive
imagine burning alive in the limelight
The phantoms from your lips remind you you've lost your time
It's not your time

One more empty distraction
Another victim with no one to save me
With no one to save me
