glitch

when i start to falter
i push myself way too hard
it takes me that much longer
to get where they all start

i’ve gotten scared of you
no i’m terrified of you
i see your grip in my head
i feel you rip me to shreds

hold your world in my hands
i drop it all see it land
i wore your patience so thin
i’m my own problem to fix

i’ve gotten scared of you
no i'm terrified of you
i see your grip in my head
i feel you rip me to shreds
i feel you rip me to shreds
i feel you rip me to shreds

i don’t mind
staring you down i don’t
i don’t mind
wait for a clean cut i won’t
i don’t mind
take you by the touch and push you off

watch you drop
i don’t mind
watch me drop
i don’t mind
push me off

i don’t mind
branding my skin i don’t
i don't mind
watching the flow i
i don’t mind
feeling the sky fall i
i don’t mind
hearing my breath choke i
i don’t mind
i don’t mind
i don’t mind
i don’t mind

mind

it all stays the same
but you ask anyway
will you leave if that changes

pull me forward and stay
tell me it’s falling in place
i didn’t make a mistake

there are days that i think
i should just burn it and leave
this won’t get you anywhere

push me backwards and say
get over it you’re okay
you think you give but you take

why won’t you just tell me to go
i watched it falling apart
i felt it falling apart

why don’t you just tell me to go
those are the words that i chose
but i’m not good on my own

i felt it falling apart
i watched it falling apart
i watched it falling apart

trip over my words
it gets better then it’s worse
i don’t know which cut came first

this is the choice that i’ve made
i see it falling in place
i think I’ve picked up my pace

but i can’t get it to work
i let it go it still hurts
i think I give but i take


why won’t you just tell me to go
i watched it falling apart
i felt it falling apart

why don’t you just tell me to go
those are the words that i chose
but i’m not good on my own

but i don’t want you to go
but i don’t want you to go
no i don’t want you to go
but i don’t want you to go

a part

it’s not yours to take
why’d you come pick it up
meant to agitate
can’t tell which side you’re on

turn sideways and rotate
quicker than i thought
watch me follow through
coming to a full stop

what’s it gonna be
is it something you keep
your grip is too tight
but i’ll go back to sleep

go back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

let me go 
let me go
back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

but you stay the same
you’re running in place

falling
i’m falling

you push and you push til it breaks

trying
you’re trying
but you don’t know me anymore

i’m tired of you
blaming your retrograde
you’ve gotten used to
thinking we are the same

fall over and over
we both feel a lot

i think you know i’m
waiting wanting to leave
your grip is too tight
guess i’ll go back to sleep

i’ll go back to go back to
back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

let me go 
let me go
back to sleep

trying
i’m trying

but you stay the same
you’re running in place

falling
i’m falling

you push and you push til it breaks

you’re trying
you’re trying
but you don’t know 
you don’t know
you don’t know

me anymore
me any
me anymore
me any
me any
me anymore

you don’t know
you don’t know me anymore

sleep

i wish i could float forever
but it all just gets heavier
i should be better
i need to be doing better

at fifteen i thought i could make it
i watched myself on tv
thought that i was ready
but they’ve forgotten about me

you made me think i could do it
i think maybe that i can do it
can do it

i’m only nineteen
i have time to think it through
already nineteen
don’t know what i’m gonna do

시간이 갈수록
불안감 이 심해져가
벌써 나는

nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen

how does it all fit together
have i moved any further
i should be doing better
i need to be doing better

you made me think i could do it
i think maybe that i can do it
can do it

i’m only nineteen
i have time to think it through
already nineteen
don’t know what i’m gonna do

시간이 갈수록
불안감 이 심해져가
벌써 나는

nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen
nineteen

i’m only nineteen
i have time to think it through
already nineteen
don’t know what i’m gonna do
don’t know what i’m gonna do
don’t know what i’m gonna

nineteen
