Lyrics

The waters here and you ignored my shout,
Locking me in meant that it kept you out.
Cut myself off from all my friends,
Would've stood by you until the end.
My mouth is bleeding oh, I can't see straight,
My castles burning, liquor, fire and blame.
I'll drown in green and watch that life wash away,
There's no point in crying over bleach anyway

Just let me go,
'Cause it's hurting more just to hold your rope.
Like before, turn your back,
Now there's blood in the water, the sharks are back

If I mean nothing to you, then I'll just go,
Cut ties and hide the bruises,
These walls will never fall.
But it's lonely in my fortress,
Just me holding these stones.
Head down, mouth shut,
Don't blink, don't breathe, they'll see your weakness

I wish that you were here, I wish you never left,
But you weren't good for me,
So long, goodnight my friends

Just let me go,
'Cause it's hurting more just to hold your rope.
Like before, turn your back,
Now there's blood in the water, the sharks are back
Stop holding on,
Man I'm tired of bleeding to not feel numb.
I promise it's an act,
But I'm tired of reason, so don't come back
