lyrics

I'm sorry, my friends,
I've gone round the bend.
Guess my only hope is your love
can hold this broken dam.
Hold this broken dam.

I'm sorry, my friends.
I've lost it again.
And I shouldn't have spoken from my confusion.
Confusion

will take you for a ride sometimes,
dress you up in fragmented lines,
there's only so much you can do.
But the people who love you
will pull you through.

There's a code in the song,
and when you tell me I'm wrong,
I just twist around what you say
to suit what I think.
Suit what I think.

It's worse than you fear.
I'm barely even here.
My mind is a fish tank leaking delusion.
Delusion

will take you for a ride sometimes,
plunge you in an ocean of lives,
don't give in, keep searching
for the shore.
Or the people who love you
can't help anymore.

I think I'm gonna be here a while, my friends.
I don't see it changing any time soon.
So if you could remind me again why you care,
it'll make a difference, I swear.

Cuz life will
take you for a ride sometimes,
plunge you in the cold, desert night,
there's only so much you can do.
But the people who love you—
if you let them—
will pull you through.
