The crunch of the leaves underneath my feet
Is a crunchy reprieve from all this blood that I bleed
I'm a thousand degrees about to bust at the seams
I gotta get out before it happens again
I gotta get out of all these traps in my brain
I gotta get out there's no other way to explain
I gotta get out of all this flawless pain
Can no longer find my way around this place baby
~verse
There's no way to see the forest for the trees
I try to break out but end up on my knees
I try to find worth but end up sleeping with thieves
I gotta get out before it happens again
I gotta get out of all these traps in my brain
I gotta get out there's no other way to explain
I gotta get out of all this flawless pain
Can no longer find my way around this place baby
Music Break
~verse
I can't fight this feeling I've been here before
It's a book that's been read and not worth fighting for
This song has been written a thousand times or more
I gotta get out before it happens again
I gotta get out of all these traps in my brain
I gotta get out there's no other way to explain
I gotta get out of all this flawless pain
Can no longer find my way around this place baby
