In a Rut - Decipher

I wake up
On the wrong side of this town
I make up
A thousand things to make me frown
I block out
All the thoughts I have of you
So they see
Exactly what I want them too
Because I don't live for them
(Don't live for them)
I've learned exactly who I am
Quiet thoughts we utter slow
(We utter slow)
Bring me all the peace I know
I built these walls
To numb the world around me
I built this shell
To keep all this inside of me
I built these lies
To fill an awkward silence
I built this life
To martyr my existence
I give up
Tell me what the secret is
To bring up
The words that both of us have hidden
Behind us
Shadows tugging at my strings
Destroy me
To give me strength to spread my wings
Because I don't live for me
(Don't live for me)
I'll be exactly who you want me to be
Sullen thoughts I think alone
(I think alone)
Bring me all the peace I'll ever know
I built these walls
To numb the world around me
I built this shell
To keep all this inside of me
I built these lies
To fill an awkward silence
I built this life
To martyr my existence
I broke these walls
To feel the world around me
I dropped my shell
To let the truth inside of me
Expose these lies
To give it all I have to give
I broke this life
To feel what it's like to live
