A slow, piano driven ballad about staying in a love that you want to get out of but the other person keeps convincing you to stay. Breaking up and getting back together multiple times and getting hurt over and over. Reaching your limit. BPM - 108

Lyrics
Verse 1
You’ve been creeping in closer and closer
And invaded these walls that I hold up
Try to think it through over and over
But I continue to fall for the setup
Chorus
Put the lock and chains
on my intuition, I keep wishing
you would walk away
But you’re still pushing, so persistent
How long will it take
Oh before we learn that this is a mistake
It always ends the same
My heart was made to break
My heart was made to break
Verse 2
Will I ever perceive the misfortune
Does the anguish I feel ever go numb
Cause swear it just heals for the torture
And leaves me with curses from my tongue
Chorus
Bridge
I reached my limit
And I was good with it
But you wrestled with it
And now I might give it
One more hit, I’ll risk it
Although I’m a cynic
I’m too tied up in this

Lyrics
Verse 1
There’s no hiding
From their watching
I can feel them staring
Downward spiraling
Constant mocking
Still it’s not apparent
How many days
How many ways
Will I be the outcast
No denying
Or conforming
I am what I am
Chorus
Open these veins
If I’m only human
I won’t stop bleeding
And I’m not ashamed
If I’m only human
I can’t stop breathing
Refrain
Breathing for You
For you (x2)
Verse 2
When will they see
They’re just like me
We all need an answer
Hate and envy
So intensely
Emotional cancer
I am no saint
I have caused pain
While lacking compassion
Without treaty
We are deadly
Raise your firearms
Chorus
Refrain
Bridge
If living is dying first
I’ll take their worst
And until they understand
They can, they can

Lyrics
Verse 1
Blind to love, I believed every word you said
Enough lies and schemes planted in my head
I was twisted up
Twisted up bad
Twisted up, twisted
Pre Ch
I came up close to the fire
It’s only a matter of time
Before the smoke clears away
And though the flames would get higher
Light became brighter and shown
On all the games that you played
Chorus
And now I see you for
Who you really are
Yeah now I see you for
Who you really are
Verse 2
Played it cool all along
You put on a show
For fools, mask is gone
And now I finally know
The truth everything that
You do is for you
Everything that you do
Pre Ch
Chorus
Chorus
Refrain
The uglier that you get
The harder to find a mask that fits
The uglier your soul gets
The harder to find a mask that fits
The uglier that you get
The harder to find a mask that fits
The uglier your soul gets
The harder to find a mask that fits -
