Self-Destruct & Die

I'm only patient enough

To please the masses for so long

My brittle arms cannot hold

Up all the walls in this falling tomb

I'm only caring enough

(Drowning in expectation)

To love oppressors for so long

Until I begin to crack

(I cannot disappoint them)

And the monster will soon come back

I've got to cut the tube that feeds

The undying need for this peace

I'll self-destruct and die

If you don't allow me breathing room

Save me from my phobia of failing you again

I'll self-destruct and die

From the strain of pleasing the masses

I'm the dying pacifist

I don't need you to stop

I only need you to understand

I dig this dagger myself

(And twist and turn until I'm numb)

And I'll continue until you end it

I've got to cut the tube that feeds

The undying need for this peace

I'll self-destruct and die

If you don't allow me breathing room

Save me from my phobia of failing you again

I'll self-destruct and die

From the strain of pleasing the masses

I'm the dying pacifist, I'm the dying pacifist

I'm addicted to being

Something they will look up to and

I'm begging for someone

Something to bring me back to you

I'll self-destruct and die

If you don't allow me breathing room

Save me from my phobia of failing you again

I'll self-destruct and die

If you don't allow me breathing room

Save me from my phobia of failing you again

I'll self-destruct and die

From the strain of pleasing the masses

I'm the dying pacifist, I'm the dying pacifist
