lyrics

as i blindly drive in my two-ton death trap, i am set ablaze by a spark of a thought that spreads like wildfire, consuming every fiber of my existence. fahrenheit 451, it ignites the world before me, reducing all i have left into ashes. everything that i know is cast away with an uneasy exhale. well i dreamt i drank up the ocean to quell that burning in my stomach, but i awoke to find waves of loneliness washing around my ankles and howling winds of regret reminding me of my faults, all while my stomach churned painfully. and i know that it’s all ignited by the thought that i'm not good enough, that maybe i’ll never get to where i’m going, that maybe i’ll fall short and let you down. well i’m tired of being a let down. well i've spent too many mornings pretending to be asleep, convincing myself that it will all be gone when i wake up. and i know it won’t all just disappear. but i’ll still go back to dreaming, every second awake, and i’ll watch the tides as they swallow my feet. they’ll call out to me, seducing me into the dark watery depths and perhaps i might join them. but maybe i’ll just let the undertow drag me slowly and wait, hoping to hear you call my name.
