lyrics

I cannot stay hidden like this. My den locks me from the inside.

I cannot stay hidden like this. My den locks me from the inside. The window shades all painted black. The colors are outside, I know.

I’m high on cancelled plans - instant relief. I’m separating everyone from me. I know – I’m abusing a home. You cannot become everything you want.

Nostalgia is a prison, don’t bust me out. I bite off less than I could chew. Don’t make a sound, but notice it somehow. Silence is as comforting as false.

I cannot stay hidden like this. My den locks me from the inside. The window shades all painted black. The colors are outside, I know.

I am afraid to let you in. Can’t bear seeing you outside. I will break my window, leave for the first time.

For the first time.
