lyrics

Seems so easy on the surface.
You say I have no excuse.
I'm dying.
I am dying.

And I know you won't believe me.
Others have a harder time.
I'm dying.
I am dying.

And I can't even talk about it.
I can't even scream but I am
Dying.
I am dying.

And I can't even talking about it
I can't even fucking move I'm dying.
I am dying.

I know that you won't believe me.
Putting pen to paper kills me.
Dying.
I am dying.

I know that I'm fucking lazy.
I know no one else can save me.
Dying.
I am dying.

And I can't even write about it
To write it down would make it
true - I'm dying.
Fucking dying.

Cut my throat from ear to ear.
Tell me that I'm insincere -
I'm trying!
I'm just dying!

And I can't even talk about it.
I can't even scream but I am
Dying.
I am dying.

And I can't even talking about it
I can't even fucking move - I'm dying.
I am dying.

While I'm trying!
And I'm crying!

While I'm trying!
And I'm dying!

And I can't even look at you.
I can't even stand beside you.
Dying!
I am dying!

And I can't even look at you.
I can't even stand beside you.
Dying!
I am dying!

I am dying!
I am dying!
I am dying!
