​trenches

[Pre-Chorus]
I reach (I reach)
For air
I'd scream, but the sound's not there
I wait (I wait)
For a wake
Right around when I jump from the brink

[Chorus]
Draining all the joy out
Seem always annoyed now
Constantly devoid how the moment pales my skin
Had it sorted out
Now my soul's just sore, ouch
They say I'm a soldier, I just never peek my head out of these trenches

[Verse 1]
Nothing's really here for me
It hurts to laugh, it hurts to speak
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than put at rest with nobody
If time should wind a single hand
Then who am I to reprimand?
The data flow that leads my stand
Of former thoughts and severance

[Verse 2]
Met with bloody stares
Spirit broke the mirror
Tumbled-down eyes glare
"It always could be better"
The toad in my throat drowning notes 'til they're gone
If they crash, should they float to return to this pond?

[Bridge]
If I'm stood, a stance of lax
Consider that form of attack
Procrastination ticks away until delay becomes a gift
Given all I am is shit
Sat distraught over some bricks
Counting melodies won't counter how I feel when nothing sticks

[Pre-Chorus]
I reach (I reach)
For air
I'd scream, but the sound's not there
I wait (I wait)
For a wake
Right around when I jump from the brink

[Chorus]
Draining all the joy out
Seem always annoyed now
Constantly devoid how the moment pales my skin
Had it sorted out
Now my soul's just sore, ouch
They say I'm a soldier, I just never peek my head out of these trenches
