High Strung Lyrics by Fault Lines

Such Is Life

2016

Coward
I have been a coward
Well maybe I'm high strung
I've got a habit of biting my tongue

Swear to me that I can make this work
When my hands are covered in dirt
Absent minded, conscience blinded
String me up and leave me dying

It feels like I'm burning up out of control
Like every word I speak
Is landing me deeper in this hole
I know I know

(Lately)
Lately I've been holding my breath in hopes of something changing
(I've been thinking)
Thinking thinking these thoughts that haunt my head might be the ones that save me

The truth is a bitter pill that I can't choke down

Don't give a shit where I lay my head
Most days I wish I was dead
Tear me apart from the inside out
Are we still victims of circumstance?
Are we victims yet?

It feels like I'm burning up out of control
Like every word I speak
Is landing me deeper in this hole
I know I know

(Lately)
Lately I've been holding my breath in hopes of something changing
(I've been thinking)
Thinking thinking these thoughts that haunt my head might be the ones that save me

I relive the pain;
As it leaks into my brain
My pen has run out of ink

I don't want to die
I just want to feel alive

The moment I knew
That I couldn't fight it
The shadow in the room
A change in the season
A way and a reason
For me to fall

I feel like I'm burning up out of control
Like every word I speak
Will land me deeper in this hole
I know I know

(Lately)
Lately I've been holding my breathe in hopes of something changing
(I've been thinking)
Thinking thinking these thoughts that haunt my head might be the ones that save me

I'm losing my mind!
