lyrics

Gave up on my bad luck,
There’s no room for it
Typify the warning signs
Won’t ever change your mind
Won’t change your mind

Soft in my heart
But my shell is laced
With concrete and barbed wire
The only way to talk this out
Is to turn around and remain insignificant

So I’m talk, talking to you
Can’t get through
Your eyes wander round the room
Like nervous spotlights in the night sky
Fluff your pillows, try to get by
On four hours of sleep
Another second
Another wasted breath
You’ll never let this die and go to rest

Soft in my heart
But my shell is laced
with concrete and barbed wire
The only way to talk this out
Is to turn around and remain insignificant
I think and think about the things you said
You can clear this up,
But when it comes to it
The only time I feel okay
is when I’m covered in my bed

You're always
Confirming my suspicions
That I always talk
But you'll never listen
So do what you wanna do
I'm not what's wrong with you
Yeah I think I'll sit this one out
Like I have a choice
You're always leaving me out

Soft in my heart
But my shell is laced
with concrete and barbed wire
The only way to talk this out
Is to turn around and remain insignificant
I think and think about the things you said
You can clear this up,
But when it comes to it
The only time I feel okay
Is when I'm covered in my bed
