Tearing Me Down
Lyrics
A constant concern of mine as you interrogate my integrity
I trust in you without tearing us down, but you’re tearing me down
Why do you think you can hold me back from my dream state aspirations
I need these dreams just to breath, to see what I saw in you and me
As you bring it back and back, time and time again
Showing us the nothing, the nothing that’s our end
Stereo typical hypocrisy you think you’re shit hot
Cute how you think you own the world, the singular inhabitant
Earth has an orbit and you think you own it, but you can’t
Why are you secluded to you perfect little world, life’s not your panic room
WON’T NEED A CHORUS BECAUSE LIKE YOU THIS SONG IS SO CLICHÉ
Terrorize my life and inhabit my head, this heart beat has stopped
Asleep with a secret I know that you keep it, inside of your heart I can see it
Well-kept lies we kept alive, we suffer in our silence
I never wanted good bye to test such endurance
Such excuses for your selfish abuses, tell me now you think we’re really worth this
All the days gone, they feel so damn long, and it’s tearing me down
Every night that I’m alone in my thoughts in this bed, in my home in my head
Questioning all the choices, wondering now if you’re worth all this
And god if I may say, it feels like we’re parting ways
And with this distance when she kisses, it feels so empty
My face a façade that you never saw, so empty and far from home
I can’t explain the tears that it rains when I am all alone
Such sorrow is hollowed by friends that I follow all the way down to an end
A single mistake was all it would take to put me out farther from him
WON’T NEED A CHORUS BECAUSE LIKE YOU THIS SONG IS SO CLICHÉ
Soul dies inside as the truth turns to lies, like love scraping off my teeth
Such homely fashion and my lack of passion, I leave no love to believe
Answer or not to postage stamped letters, transcript about how I quit
To simple it down, so you’ll figure it out, we’re both just full of shit
And I'm about to show you how full of shit we really are
Pick it up now
A constant concern of mine as you interrogate my integrity
I trust in you without tearing us down, but you’re tearing me down
Why do you think you can hold me back from my dream state aspirations
I need these dreams just to breath, to see what I saw in you and me
As you bring it back and back, time and time again
Showing us the nothing, the nothing that’s our end
Stereo typical hypocrisy you think you’re shit hot
Cute how you think you own the world, the singular inhabitant
Earth has an orbit and you think you own it, but you can’t
Why are you secluded to you perfect little world, life’s not your panic room
WON’T NEED A CHORUS BECAUSE LIKE YOU THIS SONG IS SO CLICHÉ
Terrorize my life and inhabit my head, this heart beat has stopped
Asleep with a secret I know that you keep it, inside of your heart I can see it
Well-kept lies we kept alive, we suffer in our silence
I never wanted good bye to test such endurance
Such excuses for your selfish abuses, tell me now you think we’re really worth this
All the days gone, they feel so damn long, and it’s tearing me down
Every night that I’m alone in my thoughts in this bed, in my home in my head
Questioning all the choices, wondering now if you’re worth all this
And god if I may say, it feels like we’re parting ways

And I'm about to show you how full of shit we really are
Pick it up now
