feels like i’m crossing a line when i’m crossing my fingers
like i’m walking on thorns, like i can’t pull out the splinters
i've lost my will to chase
and i’ve lost track of all the names
i keep telling myself i can change, i can change
i keep lying cause i’m only saving face
feels like i always lose
when i open up i end up without you
how the fuck am i supposed to heal these wounds
black and blue
can’t see through
black and blue
feels like i always lose
when i open up i end up without you
i’m at the same dead end
the lonely space in my head
with my past coming back to shatter my hopes again
i’m scared of holding on
cause i’ve lost my grip for way too long
i wonder
could it be worse
am i bound to hurt forever

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
