lyrics

Lately I've been feeling closed in
Hanging like a clothes pin
Still on the line but there's not enough
Time to take this all in, to let it sink in
That we're not here forever but we still try

To find a way out, to find a way in
To find a more comfortable place in my skin
And sometimes I feel like I'm not gonna win
Cause the devil in my head is talking again

I'm always holding onto a thin rope
I'm losing my grip I feel like I might let go
And I'm trying to be the man my mother raised me to be but constant pressure is taking tolls on me

Lately I've been caving in, I can't talk to my friends
I've been feeling like a burden on them
And lately I've been feeling lost
I think I've had enough
I'm losing my patience and I can't

Anyway out, or anyway in
Can't find any comfortable place in my skin
And this time I know that I'm not gonna win
Cause the devil in my head is talking again

(Bridge)
And all this constant effort
Will I ever be where I wanna be
I know I'm in shallow water but
sometimes I wish that the waves
Could just carry me
