The Way Down - from the outside

Do you feel the tension
'Cause its been ripping me apart
I can't tell if this weight is mine
Or if it is imposed from the outside
Will I
Ever learn my lesson
It's written in my hands
But I'll never see
The message you meant for me
Clenched fists held tight by my own closed mind
I take the blame
Wear it like a middle fucking name
Keep swallowing everything I need to say
Its everything I felt today, every day
Everything always stays the same
You're staring at me, face blank
I'm living on your burner/back
Wondering if the answer will ever change
Do you feel the tension
'Cause its been ripping me apart
I can't tell if this weight is mine
Or if it is imposed from the outside
Will I
Ever learn my lesson
It's written in my hands
But I'll never see
The message you meant for me
Clenched fists held tight by my own closed mind
Every day
Everything always stays the same
You're staring at me, face blank
I'm living on your burner/back
Wondering if the answer will ever change
How do I stop
Living a life every moment
I'm feeling it all
Taking it back
I'm a nut
I'm a loon
I don't wanna be ending it all
How do I stop
Living a life every moment
I'm feeling it all
If I gotta choose
Take it back, I don't want it
And now that I'm numb I'll be parting with yall
I am ending it all
Do you feel the tension
'Cause its been ripping me apart
I can't tell if this weight is mine
Or if it is imposed from the outside
Will I
Ever learn my lesson
It's written in my hands
But I'll never see
The message you meant for me
Clenched fists held tight by my own closed mind
