[Intro: Nicholas Matthews]
Yeah! Woo!
[Verse 1: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
My hands are tied
I fight through my confessions 'cause I'm
Full of bad intentions, so I lie (My hands are tied)
Open wide, this novocaine's got purpose, so I'm
Numbing out the worthless they prescribed (I'm not alright)
[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Lately (Lately), I've been wasting away in all the bad things (Bad things)
Seen in me almost constantly
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Bury me in misery and pain
I'm afraid I won't see better days
Wide awake, they don't know how I feel, know how I feel
I can't escape, so I'll admit defeat
Ten years of walking in my sleep
I don't think that they see how I feel
Can't see how I feel (Yeah)
[Verse 2: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
You're on your way out unaware
Fuck that, I'm already there
Armed to the teeth, but honestly
I don't owe the world a goddamn thing
Buried my sentimental melodies six feet deep
Like bad dreams full of bad things
Thick as thieves machine that end me
[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Lately (Lately), I've been wasting away in all the bad things (Bad things)
Seen in me almost constantly
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Bury me in misery and pain
I'm afraid I won't see better days
Wide awake, they don't know how I feel, know how I feel
I can't escape, so I'll admit defeat
Ten years of walking in my sleep
I don't think that they see how I feel
Can't see how I feel
[Instrumental Guitar Bridge]
[Outro: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Bury me in misery and pain
I'm afraid I won't see better days
Wide awake, they don't know how I feel, know how I feel
I can't escape, so I'll admit defeat
Ten years of walking in my sleep
I don't think that they see how I feel
Can't see how I feel
