In the beginning it was worth this
Do the worst, feel complete
Passing standards others meet
(What we do best)
Now perfect endings make you anxious
Heavy head, a colder sweat
Leaving nothing here, nothing to regret

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

I miss the old days that we murdered
They're so far gone, out of reach
Watch 'em fade with summer's heat
(Well it goes like this)
Without a break from this distraction
I need a change, a different scene
A new approach to coming clean

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Still searching for a back door out of here
Reassured that old friends will reappear
Why am I still suffocating
Just hold your breathe deep and I'll keep waiting
[x2]

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
