Caving In

[Verse 1]

I count the cracks across my ceiling

Every hour drags its feet

My father's voice lives in my sternum

Telling me I'm incomplete

I bit my tongue until it bled

Swallowed every word he said

Now the quiet feels like drowning

And the anger feels like bed

[Pre-Chorus]

So I scream into the pillow

So I punch the plaster wall

So I tell myself I'm fine

But I'm not fine at all

[Chorus]

Let me out let me out of my own skin

Let me out let me out I'm caving in

I am not the sum of what they made me

I am not the wreck they left behind

Let me out let me out of my own skin

Let me out let me out I'm caving in

[Verse 2]

My mother taught me how to smile

Through the worst of everything

I learned to fold myself so small

That I forgot what I could bring

And every mirror is a stranger

Every friend a borrowed coat

I've been running from my own name

Like it's a rock stuck in my throat

[Pre-Chorus]

So I carve it in the drywall

So I tear apart the seams

So I tell myself I'm fine

But I'm haunted by my dreams

[Chorus]

Let me out let me out of my own skin

Let me out let me out I'm caving in

I am not the sum of what they made me

I am not the wreck they left behind

Let me out let me out of my own skin

Let me out let me out I'm caving in

[Bridge]

I am not

I am not

I am not their damage

I am not

I am not

I am not their damage

[Breakdown]

Breathe

Breathe

Let the pressure break the bone

Breathe

Breathe

I refuse to die alone

[Chorus]

Let me out let me out of my own skin

Let me out let me out I'm caving in

I am not the sum of what they made me

I am not the wreck they left behind

Let me out let me out of my own skin

Let me out let me out I'm caving in
