In the beginning it was worth this

Do the worst, feel complete

Passing standards others meet

(What we do best)

Now perfect endings make you anxious

Heavy head, a colder sweat

Leaving nothing here, nothing to regret

Why am I still suffocating

Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Why am I still suffocating

Constantly devastated just to stay alive

I miss the old days that we murdered

They're so far gone, out of reach

Watch 'em fade with summer's heat

(Well it goes like this)

Without a break from this distraction

I need a change, a different scene

A new approach to coming clean

Why am I still suffocating

Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Why am I still suffocating

Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Still searching for a back door out of here

Reassured that old friends will reappear

Why am I still suffocating

Just hold your breathe deep and I'll keep waiting

[X2]

Why am I still suffocating

Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Why am I still suffocating

Constantly devastated just to stay alive
