Despondency Lyrics by Only Liars

Grow & Prosper

2020

I can see
The flickering of the street lights
In time with the switch in my attitude
Forever still chasing a change in my shitty point of view
Lost in translation
My tongue is splitting at the seams
If I sit here long enough, maybe I'll figure what it means

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't look now, the time is ticking down
Seconds to seeing how close I come to a breakdown

[Chorus]
My mind stays darker still, overpowering my will
To make my escape or try to find my place
The alarms on my phone keep ringing on and on
Don't think I'll make it out of bed today

[Verse 2]
And when I
Tell myself that it'll all be fine
It's not real, it's in my mind
I know I won't believe it
If there's a light, I just can't see it

[Pre-Chorus]
So far down, my lungs fill till I drown
Weighed down in waves of these waters
Under these gray clouds

[Chorus]
My mind stays darker still, overpowering my will
To make my escape or try to find my place
The alarms on my phone keep ringing on and on
Don't think I'll make it out of bed today

[Bridge]
Empty inside

And when I
Tell myself it'll all be fine
It's not real, it's in my mind
I know I won't believe it
If there's a light I just can't see it

[Outro]
Empty inside
