Never Enough

I tried to love this dusty womb
But to hear you scream again
It makes me feel the walls are closing in
I'm stuck inside this lonely tomb
Where breathing can't contend
With crooked smiles and words that sear my skin

All the pain I buried
Just to bring a smile to your face
There's never enough weight in my calloused hands
You can't wipe away your past transgressions, clean, without a trace

I stand up
To get knocked down
A lifeline
Stuck in the crowd

Yet here we are again it seems
I've given this a try
But who's the fool who hid behind a lie
You worked so hard so I could see
Your rotten alibi
That gave me countless red-eyes to untie

All the pain I buried
Just to bring a smile to your face
There's never enough weight in my calloused hands
You can't wipe away your past transgressions, clean, without a trace

I stand up
To get knocked down
A lifeline
Stuck in the crowd

As the sunlight seeps in through
The cracks in my window
And onto the layers of all the clothes
Piled up at my bedside
I see now that this street
Once held all my views in a tormenting cycle
But what once felt like a prison
Is not my home
It's just a road

All the pain I buried
Just to bring a smile to your face
There's never enough weight in my calloused hands
You can't wipe away your past transgressions, clean, without a trace

I stand up
To get knocked down
A lifeline
Stuck in the crowd

Won't live my
Life in regret
Your lifeline
Just to forget
