When I’m awake, sitting here alone wondering what to say
Who I was in the past seems like such a blur memories never last
But there are some as clear as day, sitting on the way to school home haircuts, headphones on listening to My Chem and Taking Back Sunday
Open scenery, old gum trees are now chopped down and replaced with little houses full of little people who don’t give a fuck about the dead roots that lie beneath.
To tell the truth I’m not okay
I’m still filled with a childhood shame
I may be grown up now
It doesn’t matter how
The scaffolding is falling around me now
And how can I stand?
I’m trying all I can
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end?
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears
No one to hold, a head full of words my little piece of gold
I tried to run ahead failing to resolve nightmares under the bed
It’s not how I feel, it’s not even what I say, it’s not even how I break
It’s my capacity to love and in return be
It’s such a hindrance to be so damaged
Push myself against the doorway, take a deep breath in and I’m shaking as I try to say
To tell the truth I’m not okay
I’m still filled with a childhood shame
I may be grown up now
It doesn’t matter how
The scaffolding is falling around me now
And how can I stand?
I’m trying all I can
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end?
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears
I was here two steps behind you I was kicking along to heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear
I was here two steps behind you I was kicking along to heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear
To tell the truth I’m not okay (I was here two steps behind you I was)
I’m still filled with a childhood shame (kicking along to heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear)
I may be grown up now, It doesn’t matter how (I was here two steps behind you I was)
The scaffolding is falling around me now (kicking along to heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear)
And how can I stand? I’m trying all I can (I was here two steps behind you I was)
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end? (kicking along to heartbeat I was keeping it strong ever end )
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears (I was here two steps behind you I was kicking along to heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat)

Can't look at you in the eyes I'm scared that what I say will drive you away,
with my coffee looking at the floor, you ask if I'm okay,
But the pain inside my chest suggests that I’m in danger.
Push away pressure headaches by smoking green or slamming beers,
Stops me from pondering and wondering what the fuck I’m doing here
I’m struggling, struggling everything’s a problem in my head.
If I let you know a portion of my truth I’ll just expose my inner youth
And she’s scared cause she’s beared the weight of what I’m unprepared to share
When I turn around where I’ve been is hazy
Only in the sounds of whispers ever seems to phase me
She’s severed from my hometown I can see it in the way she
Pulls me down and blames me
There are whispers coming from the sides,
Temporal lobes take control or I’ll have to shut down
All this waiting is there some technique where I can fucking skip ahead to next week
How can I get there on my own?
Cause If I let you know a portion of my truth I’ll just expose my inner youth
And she’s scared cause she’s beared the weight of what I’m unprepared to share
When I turn around where I’ve been is hazy
Only in the sounds of whispers ever seems to phase me
She’s severed from my hometown I can see it in the way she
Pulls me down and blames me
The pathways in my mind have quickly intertwined within the fictional
Direction wont do any use here
What do I say, what can I do without you?
Where are you? Only in Whispers
Where are you? I’ve lost the moments with you stories fading from the rearview
Where are you? I’ve lost the moments with you stories fading from the rearview
Where are you? When I turn around where I’ve been is hazy
Where are you? Only in the sounds of whispers ever seems to phase me
Where are you? She’s severed from my hometown I can see it in the way she
Where are you? Pulls me down and blames me, drags me down and shames me
Where are you? Only in Whispers
