lyrics

You never let it be
You never let me breathe
It's not the first time that I've seen
You push my buttons whenever you need
Life's so full of such sweet surprise
I may react different right before your eyes

I told you so
As something grows inside
The pressure shows
A rupture that fails to die
You really don't believe in me
It's just some kind of sociopath lunacy
These things are just a false security
You light the fuse every time you bully me

You don't see
Everything that I see
You don't know
What it's like
The hate that grows

A light it glows
So dim but there and wanted
The dark it shrouds
Not proud I drown and suffocate
In spite it shows
Not grim I'm spared
It's thwarted
A spark it screams upstream
So now I decimate

What does it mean
Who could have seen
It happened
The pressure is there
The buttons are being pushed
I wanted to be
Someone not me
Excluded
The confession aware
The buttons are being crushed

You really don't believe in me
It's just some kind of sociopath lunacy
These things are just a false security
You light the fuse every time you bully me
You don't see
Everything that I see
You don't know
What it's like
The hate that grows

You really don't believe in me
Or else you would just let it be
You push and push and push and push
It erodes corrodes until it does explode
These things are just a false security
I may behave different than you thought of me
It builds, and builds, and builds, and builds
The pressure builds so much it kills

Don't you see
The halo that's surrounding me
Don't you know
What it's like
Where I should go
I'll be free,
Face the facts it's meant to be
It's upset a lonely need
I want to be free
I will be free
Watch and see

You really don't believe in me
Or else you would just let it be
You push and push and push and push
It erodes corrodes until it does explode
These things are just a false security
I may behave different than you thought of me
It builds and builds and builds and builds
The pressure builds so much it kills
