lyrics

I feel free because I've never felt more alone
And in this place from here to there, I've never felt more at home
If I had teeth I could feel what it felt like to feel at peace
I could chew and swallow and see how it'd feel not to feel empty

In the moments just before I fall asleep I feel the feeling come and creep up from my feet, I think about it all the time
Nighttime notions in our brains a sickness catching us aflame
The fires in our hearts are burning out

Hallow faces all around us, scared to walk the road amongst us
Telling us the things we ought to know
Teeth and bones we carry only seem to make us weary
Of the things we left behind us, we are gone

Kitchen cabinets full of dishes, empty never to be filled
It's lonely feeling all of it at once
Perfect dark white dinner plates and melting pots we fill with hate
We tell ourselves we're better off this way

The only things inside us are the things we let divide
The good the bad beneath our skin and in our veins
Broken glass we walk on tiptoes
Don't make too much noise or else the world will hear and take away your name
In bedrooms we break window panes and lock ourselves up far away
We let go of the noise inside our brain

But I feel free because I've more at home inside these pockets full of
Fingernails I keep, keep me insane
Little things like memories in parts of me I can't quite reach
Help me fall asleep, put me at ease

We lose ourselves sometimes and we grow tired of these callused minds
We'll find someone to blame and start again
