They turn it on when they're under my skin
Hanging from the circles from beneath my eyes
Since I decided that I won't let sleep in
When I've got better things to occupy my time
I can't turn it off
And I'm convinced that you think that means I don't try
I can't burn it off
That just burns it deeper down inside my mind again
You stutter till your suffocating
That can't choke the thoughts out from inside my head
I'm sure that it's so frustrating for you
Waiting on a miracle to strike me dead
Just to turn it off
For me would take a movement from the hand of God
Just to burn it off
I'm sure that's what you wanted bur for me I'm not convinced
You're so familiar, are you sure we haven't met somewhere?
I am trying, but I can't make you care
You were someone I was certain time would never change
But I've been so low I don't expect you to stay
Soon enough I find you under my skin
Hanging from the circles from beneath my eyes
Now you're the reason that I won't let sleep in
If you say that there's hope for me then I should try
Try to turn it off
Or just to find a way to make it through the night
Try to burn it off
Without it burning deeper down inside my mind again
Now every season has a sickness the I can't escape
A new way to bleed, another reason to break
There were moments when I swore that we had come so close
But we always end in an overdose
Soon enough I find you under my skin
Looking for the tipping point, or where this starts
Or all the reasons that I won't let sleep in
Everything around me seems to fall apart
Winter I froze over
In spring the problems start
In summer I burn like hellfire
But in fall I fall apart
Not versed in much emo-skramz at all but this hit all my boxes at once in a simple one go and it haven't left that impression afterwards. It got it all, from the heartfelt vox to the equal solid instrumentations all along. Shapeshifting
