lyrics

I've been crawling around on my knees about a year,
Is there something you think I needed to hear?
Your verbal abuse won't hurt me anymore,
Cause lately when I'm not replying, maybe that's cause I'm trying to find your door.

But why am I moving so fast?
I can see us now, but I know we'd never last.
Now I'm broken and choking on the reasons.

You're all over my back and it isn't fair, even my worst dreams aren't as scary as being under there.
Waiting on the strength to answer the call, delete all the ideas about all the rules that you'll try to use, to make alright the bite on the hand that feeds.

But where am I now?
And why am I moving so fast, away from you, away from you.
I can see us now, but I know we'd never last.

And I don't care, but I'm still hoping.
Hoping to understand the reasons, breaking you, taking you, breaking me even though I don't want it to.
Meanwhile I'm trying to undermine the demons, who hiding all the clues, let you know just what to do if you want some fun, tell me now, the show has just begun.

So why'd you have to take it all away?
Amazingly clever, I'm hiding, the things I've decided, you're never gonna find me again.

(Where am I now)

The reasons.
Spinning round my head for years.
The reasons.
Don't listen to me when I say hey. Boweeow :)
