waking up - Dangerkids

Yeah, here I stand

Holding on to memories

A box full of everything you meant to me

And it opens up and I pull one out

And I slowly start to read

I know you’re gone

And even though it hurts to see

I carry on like it doesn’t mean a thing

But I know deep down inside I slowly bleed

Yeah, but here I stand against the odds

Against the fights and against the fall

Against the winds and against the grain

You take it all, just leave my name

Cause after this, it’s not the same

I pull a match out and start the flame

I can’t think of us and what we became

So I close my eyes and I look away

I see through you like a ghost

Behind my footsteps in shadows

When god knows this is as far as I can go

This place is bleeding me dry

I tried to make things right

Another sleepless night

When morning comes

I hope you’re somewhere else

It’s better than waking up

And lying to ourselves

You cut me down

And I cut you back

We are the same inside

With my back against the wall

Against the fact that I’ll never fall

And you deal with that

When you cut me back, you cut me deep

And I’ll never show, so you’ll never see

That I carry your scars with me

When morning comes

I hope you’re somewhere else

It’s better than waking up

And lying to ourselves

It makes you reconsider everything

I wish I was empty

Wish I was someone else

I’ve changed so much, I don’t know myself

My shadow, I’ve got you figured out

There’s nowhere for you now

I see through you like a ghost
