Tearing at the Seams

Have you ever had way too much to think?
Their dirtiest secrets, familiar feelings
But it was never enough to speak out?
So now you breathe heavy
The air is so thick
It spreads to every room
Covering the walls inside this tomb
Watch the words take shape

What's behind these pretty pictures that scatter the walls?
Dark red marks on his right fist

'Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't, when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken, it's time to leave

(Take my silence as a message)

Every little thing goes back to the way it was
I think I need a little bit of time to fester
'Cause every single time I come back to the place that I've been
I'm reminded of why I left

'Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't, when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken, it's time to leave

Sleeping on the floor, I could hear every footstep
Struggling to make their beds, so they could lie awake at night
Trying to forget every moment they could
'Til there was nothing left for them to look back at

'Cause now we're tearing at the seams
Too far beyond my reach
You never gave us what we need
You can't, when you don't believe
Speaking up for what we see
Done playing it off, done feeding the wolves
When everything's broken, it's time to leave
