Drowning In A Burning Building

Lyrics

The roaches under my nails will live longer than I will The secrets they whispered willreturnto them As ifthey never left As they should haveto begin with And the quiet will reclaim what's left I thought I was content to be consumed by static But the noise is nothing more than just that A distraction And the quiet should reclaim what's left Solidarity is all that's left to protect me Or at least that's what I've been conditioned to believe Maybe I actually do And the quiet must reclaim what's left Settle down Ignore the rising ocean front Ignore the rising temperatures Ignore the fact we're dying young Stay awake Drowning in a burning building I guess I'll just drown Trading ash for salt Selling years for sand Strangle us of hope A thin chalk outline Refuse washed away Drown I have become a shell of the person I once was Translucent What once weathered the storms now is splintered by the wind Splintered by the wind I have opened the floodgate in my throat Every day I feel more water fill my lungs Bringing relief, soothing the acidic burning A necessary torment to starve my mind Taking away the sharp, violent pressure in my skull I guess I'll just drown Settle down Ignore we're dying young I have been consumed by static
