Stagnant

I am a tiny, faded ember
I was once a raging flame
I'm a well-fed man starved slender
Yet I claim to be the same

Unchanging, I'm abandoning my faith
It's really quite cliche
Turning my back on all I love
For the sake of what it means to me

We all love to see a man that falls down on his face
Oh, To see him struggle
We all love to see a man that falls down on his face
Oh, To see him struggle
While you hold the crown

What's the point of asking if I'm okay
If you intend to write off all the
Vulnerable words I ventilate?
Are you surprised?
I've been here for days

If you can make it past the sight I've glossed
I'd love and hate for you to taste
What it is to get lost in place
Progress was my one, sure escape

I never thought that I'd stop running
I'm driven insane while everyone's around
Yet I - I can't bear the lack of sound
I can't bear the lack of sound

Tell me, what's a boy to do when his brow meets dirt despite grace?
Behind closed doors my faith is unmade
All my faith has been unmade

This is the way you expect me to be
A hypocrite and nothing more

Vulnerable words I ventilate?
(Keep laughing. Keep laughing!)
Are you surprised?
I've been here for days
(Keep laughing. Keep laughing!)

Vulnerable words I ventilate?
(We all love to see a man that falls down on his face
Oh to see him struggle)
Are you surprised?
I've been here for days
(We all love to see a man that falls down on his face
Oh to see him struggle)

What's the point of asking if I'm okay
If you intend to write it off?
