Lyrics

I was living a lie
Said I was doing just fine
That was until you asked me
It seems that you have a way
Of going where I'm afraid
Where it's sad and lonely

I keep licking my wounds
But it fails to
Stem the bleeding
I can't look at myself
I need help
'Cause the mirror's cracking
I'd better wake up
Start to see things
And smash the new day
If I don't stop soon
Then I'll speed to
The slow fade

Answers I couldn't bear
To questions I wouldn't dare
But needed asking
The truth was buried inside
As I slowly died
I marched on sleepwalking

I keep licking my wounds
But it fails to
Stem the bleeding
I can't look at myself
I need help
'Cause the mirror's cracking
I'd better wake up
Start to see things
And smash the new day
If I don't stop soon
Then I'll speed to
The slow fade

I need to pry my eyes
And not sleep through
Bells are ringing
'Cause there's so much more to do
I can play the long game
And still live life
Fear is no way to live
And a sure way to die

I keep licking my wounds
But it fails to
Stem the bleeding
I can't look at myself
I need help
'Cause
The mirror's cracking
I'd better wake up
Start to see things
And smash the new day
If I don't stop soon
Then I'll speed to
The slow fade
