lyrics

It's in my head that I needed a way to feel okay, but I know this is it right now.
In my defense, it's been a hell of a year, but things won't change unless I harness the change myself.
I don't think I need your help.
I tell myself to make amends, question omnipotence....
If I'm a tapped wire, then you know...

I've got both grips on my chest, and I seem to have a handle,
at least a little bit better than when I thought you had the other side.
I'm terrified of consequence, but it cannot hold a candle to the barrel in my brain with only pride to gain.
I never had intentions of being on the losing team, but I'm tired of being haunted by the thought police.
Doubt is not my demise.
When they left, I believed, and in death, I believed.
Make a mess; I'd believe for a blessing in disguise.
All the trials, I believe, put to the test, I believed.
Wounds undressed, I can't see because I chose to close my eyes.
Salt the top. Learn to sew. I can fend on my own.
Evidence never showed that you've been right by my side.
I'm okay not to know. It doesn't mean I'm alone.
I'm not afraid anymore; I finally believe in me.

I'd act the part, my words commit, but there's no use in faking it.
If I'm a tapped wire, then you know.
