lyrics

Drinking and breathing indecision dine on discontentment that fills you up tonight and this becomes your life.wonder what it might feel like to interact with human beings who look you in the eyes but you're alone all the time.

I know how it is to want more for yourself. I know what it is to need more.

Are we all what we are or are we all what we claim to be? Everything I know and everywhere I've been says we only see what we want to see. If we can should we all fake our lives so casually? With everything we love and nothing that we hate, pretending to be what we'll never be.

Deeper into isolation, a crevasse in your mind that you've had circled for some time and now you're stuck inside. Watch anonymous acquaintances live lives you'll never lead while jealousy and spite are gripping you so tight.

I know how it is to want more for yourself. I know what it is to need more.

Are we all what we are or are we all what we claim to be? Everything I know and everywhere I've been says we only see what we want to see. If we can should we all fake our lives so casually with everything we love and nothing that we hate, pretending to be what we'll never be.
