Frantic Lyrics

I let it get away from me

I dove in way too deep and now I can barely breathe

I'm reluctantly aware

Of all the things that I convinced myself that weren't there

And I can't keep quickening my pace

Am I fast enough not to show my face?

I can't swallow down the bitter taste of your trust misplaced

I built a city in my sleep

A hidden place for all these hidden things to keep

But time erodes these walls, this fortress made of sand, it falls

I'm empty, open, out; there's no room left for any doubt

Let the floodgates open and your love rush in

As I'm bleeding out I fill up again

Why did we ever try to pretend that we were just friends?

Grasping at pockets of clarity

Loosely awaking from this lucid dream

These nocturnal creatures are fleeing from the light

The mirror's held up to my eyes

Peeling layers of my carefully made disguise…

My creation staring back at me

No it never sleeps, it only feeds

Now I realize that I was never free when you collided into me...

Now I'm frantic, flailing helplessly

Now I'm frantic, flailing hopelessly

Now I'm frantic, flailing, rescue me
