Lost Cause

I'm biting my tongue up into pieces
So you don't have to see the pressure
Building up in my head
You're begging me somehow to believe that

You could take it if I'd only find a way to let you in
But I'd feel like I'm selfish
Don't know how to help it
And so I wonder if you'd be

Better off without me
I'll kill the time 'til you see
That I'm nothing more than a lost cause

'Cause I've been
Drowning in the violence
Bleeding out in silence
'Cause I'm nothing more than a lost cause
Oh, I feel like I'm a lost cause

So could you find a way to
Try to save me now
Kill my doubt
And pull me out when I'm

On my way back down
And I can't turn around
'Cause the ceiling in my mind's always
Moving closer to the floor

With no escape or door
Until I'm just stuck right here between it
While tryna keep all the
Darkness in me hoping you never see it

'Cause I can't reverse it
No sense of a purpose
And so I wonder if you'd be

Better off without me
I'll kill the time 'til you see
That I'm nothing more than a lost cause

'Cause I've been
Drowning in the violence
Bleeding out in silence
'Cause I'm nothing more than a lost cause
Oh, I feel like I'm a lost cause

So can you give me just a minute now
A little time so I can figure out
A way to keep this ship from sinking with
The both of us still on it
And I know you're wondering what's on my mind
I know I said I wouldn't run this time
I'm sorry for everything I ever left unsaid

You'd be
Better off without me
I'll kill the time 'til you see
That I'm nothing more than a lost cause
'Cause I've been

Drowning in the violence
Bleeding out in silence
'Cause I'm nothing more than a lost cause
Oh, I feel like I'm a lost cause

I'm biting my tongue up into pieces
So you don't have to see the pressure
Building up in my head
You're begging me somehow to believe that
I just need to let you in
