[Intro]
Those voices yelling
And the pain is overwhelming
It's a faultline
And yeah, I'm guessing
That I should be kinda happy
It's a fault of mine
[Verse 1]
With all the tension
You still keep me second-guessing
'Cause I'm so benign
(Go on, go on, go)
And yeah, I know
It's kinda hard to let it go
It's all so asinine
(Go on, go on, go)
[Pre-Chorus]
We have to figure out another way to go
(So I can follow, so I can follow)
We have to figure out another way to go
[Chorus]
Betray and degrade me now
I'll savour how this emptiness defines you
And take from this tortured sound
My hands are bound
Your shallowness confines you
[Verse 2]
I'm never the same, I'm never enough
There's something dead inside me
I fell all alone and couldn't get up
With no one there to guide me
[Pre-Chorus]
We have to figure out another way to go
(So I can follow, so I can follow)
We have to figure out another way to go
[Chorus]
Betray and degrade me now
I'll savor how this emptiness defines you
And take from this tortured sound
My hands are bound
Your shallowness confines you
[Bridge]
I'm so sick
You make me sick
I'm so sick
You make me sick
[Verse 3]
I'm never the same, I'm never enough
There's something dead inside me
[Chorus]
Betray and degrade me now
I'll savor how this emptiness defines you
And take from this tortured sound
My hands are bound
Your shallowness confines you
[Outro]
Sick
You make me sick
Sick
You make me sick
