Lyrics:
Feel the weight on my chest that I only get when I'm falling apart
and when my body is torn apart by my mind
I'll lie in bed - not willing to open my eyes
and I'll stay here - until the next sunrise
Even as my body aches for the touch of the day
I'll work up the nerve to tell you that I'm not okay
and my brittle bones break at the thought of holding on much longer
I'm not okay
not willing to open my eyes
I've been staring at the ceiling, wishing that it'd become the floor
And I haven't done a single damn thing to change my heart or to make myself better
In the art of falling apart I've learned that every stroke of the brush matters
And that there's beauty in failure
Live and death seem to fade away in the face of the collapse of everything you once held dear to you - or anything at all
The good and the bad - they rise and they fall - they rise and they fall - they rise and they fall
I'm not okay
The weight on my chest is crushing me
And I can't even fucking take a breath
I'm so sick of falling apart - teach me how to stay together
I'm so sick of falling apart - teach me how to stay together
