lyrics

I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
Things don’t always go - Always go your way.
I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
That people die every day.
I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
Sometimes you gotta scrap it and throw it away.
I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
That the beast won’t always be kept at bay.

It’s rising up, I can feel it,
It’s surfacing again.
Twisting turning, in me burning,
“Try counting to ten.”
Like a coiled serpent,
Waiting to lash out.
Trapped in a world of absolutes,
Where it’s better to die than doubt.

Don’t be afraid to say when you’re done.
There’s no shame in walking away.
It’s not always worth it to stick it out,
Try a different way on a different day.
Don’t be afraid to say “fuck it,”
It’s probably not your problem.
You don’t owe anyone anything.
What matters more? Is it you or them?

I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
You can’t always afford the price you pay.
I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
It’s natural, this dismay.
I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
It’s not always gonna be – gonna be okay.
I was gonna say - I was just gonna say…
Some will just bury you where you lay.

It’s rising up, I can feel it,
It’s breaking through the wall.
Twisting turning, in me burning,
Black consuming all.
Like a coiled serpent,
Calculating, cold.
Trapped in a world of absolutes,
Where no one ever breaks the mold.

Don’t be afraid to say when you’re done.
There’s no shame in walking away.
It’s not always worth it to stick it out,
Try a different way on a different day.
Don’t be afraid to say “fuck it,”
It’s probably not your problem.
You don’t owe anyone anything.
What matters more? Is it you or them?
