lyrics

Tidal waves
Crashing over me
I fantasize about doing what she did
Going out at 3am
And letting it go

The ocean would be calm
Satisfied after it took me home

Chorus: I can’t make these doubts go away
Tired out my 911 calls
Too paralyzed to help myself
See beyond these walls
Everything is tied up (X2)
The rope around my hands gets tighter
And I cannot find you here (X2)

Is this my lesson?
Is this my punishment?
I would’ve given up for so much less
Just take the pressure off
Stop the pain for just one day
Let me catch a breath that’s left
Give me one moment of calm
Make the voices stop
Take the pressure off

Chorus

Architecture of my heart
Built on sand castles falling apart
Another Day
When my restless mind
Plays hide-and-go-seek with time
And I cannot find you here (X2)

The rope around my neck gets tighter
And I cannot find you here (X2)
