These late nights, are all that i know now
these early mornings are beginning to show
and all i think about as i lay awake at night
is will anyone notice the bags under my eyes
i'm losing grip on the choke hold that i had around the neck of my life
and all these demons follow me, into the night
there's a part of me beginning to grow
and it's the one part of me i don't want anyone to know
i'm starting to slip, i feel the skin crack around my fingertips
and I've forgotten, how it feels, to feel like myself
and i don't recognize the face that stares back at me
when i look into the mirror i don't see myself anymore
i don't recognize the man behind these tired eyes
These late nights, are all that i know now
these early mornings are beginning to show
and all i think about as i lay awake at night
is who the fuck am i, who the fuck am i ?
i haven't known myself for far to long
so how could you ?
at least you've got the luxury of running away
believe me if i could, i wouldn't stay
i wouldn't stay around me
