‘This Place’ is track five of Eddie Benjamin’s forthcoming Sophomore EP ‘Weatherman’ out June 9. Eddie has recognised This Place as his most vulnerable and emotional piece of songwriting, with there is nothing quite like it beforehand.
[Verse 1]
I've been waiting a thousand years
To sing this song and then disappear
To show you how I really feel
And if I do, then please don't try to stop me
Please don't try to help me
A thousand voices are getting loud
The things I love most are drowning out
And I've been dying to show you that
I want to give everything you asked for
Everything you asked for
[Pre-Chorus]
Those times that I say
Oh I'm doing fine today
I'm just hiding
[Chorus]
Cause I'm not really sure how to tell anyone
But I wanna leave this place
Pull the plug and float to space
And I don't really know if I can tell anyone
That I can't bare this pain
I think it's time to leave this place
[Verse 2]
Darkness changing into me
I'm falling down and I'll let it be
Surrounded by the enemy
I guess the battle is already over
Please don't try to help me
[Pre-Chorus]
Those times that I say
Oh I'm doing fine today
I'm just hiding
[Chorus]
Cause I'm not really sure how to tell anyone
But I wanna leave this place
Pull the plug and float to space
And I don't really know if I can tell anyone
That I can't bare this pain
I think it's time to leave this place
[Bridge]
Trapped by the voices of my emotions
They're suffocating me, oh
Dancing knives taking over my body
They're suffocating me
[Chorus]
Cause I'm not really sure how to tell anyone
But I wanna leave this place
Pull the plug and float to space
Cause I'm not really sure if I can tell anyone
But I can't bare this pain
I think it's time I leave this place
Cause I'm not really sure if I can tell anyone
But I can't bare this pain
I think it's time to leave this place
