From the recording What Doesn't Kill Me

Lyrics

I’m a good liar
I told you I’d find her
But many things got lost in that fire
Promises were broken
Words had me choking
It burned me good and hard
Left my veins charred and smoking

I feel asleep like I’m
Stuck in oblivion
Like I’ve gone blind
Forgotten how to listen
It strikes me so deep
Fast on repeat
And I don’t know what to do
It’s gonna be the death of me

What would you say
If you saw me so afraid of things
That I’ve lost
Things that I’ve gained
I can’t say I know
What‘s going on I don’t
It’s a puzzle, a riddle, not something I chose

What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger or so I’ve been told but believe no longer
I’m shot down
Bleeding on the ground
No chance of getting back up

My mind‘s like a circus
Colourful and nervous
Running from school because it’s not worth it
But a bottle glass ladder’s such a steep climb after everything slows down but you only want faster

I’m in a rhythm it’s loud and it’s living
Telling me to stop on my constant up giving
It’s simple and plain
I need to act sane but I
Don’t know what to do I’m the only one in my way

What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger I have to believe it I’ve been a fool to not see it
but for so long I've been lost
Wandering through the cold
By myself on my own

They all tell me to breathe
But still I can't seem to move
They all say to chill out as if I'm okay not breaking down
They all tell me to wait but why should I stick around when I know I'm alone when it comes to my brain I'm already gone

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger or so I've been told but believe no longer
I've got to have faith that I'll be alright someday and that these songs will be enough
For me to get back up
For me to get back up
For me to get back up
