lyrics

I breathe in slow
For you
Confine my flow
For you I wanna be
A different me

I only want to see
Vicariously
Looking through your eyes
It’s how I hide

Fitting in your mold is so achievable
I’ll just try a little more to be believable

And with every word I wonder why
It’s so easy feeling left behind
I’m a shallow shadow in your light
But I’d rather live through you than die

I’m scared to breathe again
Cause you are always seeping in again
And again and again and again and again I’m trying oh to hold on
To myself

And I am flying solo
I keep on trying don’t know
Where to begin
I’ll take a spin in your skin
Try it on for a bit

Fitting in your mold is so achievable
I’ll just try a little more to be believable

And with every word I wonder why
It’s so easy feeling left behind
I’m a shallow shadow in your light
But I’d rather live through you than die

I
Want to try
Figuring out a way out of this mindlessness
Light causes blindness but my eyes still squint at you
Trapped inside
Your patchwork mind
But I can escape all it takes is some kindness
Time and time I’ve been spineless but I can define this my own goddamn way

I can’t be defined
Though I’ve tried and I’ve tried
It’s time I accept that and you accept that and we acknowledge the possibility of a human, being one of a kind
I can’t be defined
So I’ll stop reading your lines
And I’m sorry I tried to be you, that was too unkind

So with every breath I’ll hold on tight
And my voice might break but I won’t cry
You can’t protect me though you’ve tried
It’s all on me, no more living life
Vicariously
