[Verse 1]
Wake up in a box I built
Nails made out of every word I said
Breathing in the smoke of guilt
Ash collecting where my heart once bled
Skin tight
Like a suit made of blame
Every mirror in the room
Keeps calling my name
[Chorus]
I’m forever enclosed in a coffin of my own
Scratching at the lid
But it’s nailed into bone
Burning up my mind
Burning up my veins
I’m fighting in the dark
With a face I hate
And I don’t know
If I get out of this alive
[Verse 2]
Hands shake
But I keep swingin’
Punching at a thought that won’t fall down
Every little cut keeps stingin’
Echo in my skull is the loudest sound
Blind rage
At the kid I was then
Every day the same war
Starts over again
[Chorus]
I’m forever enclosed in a coffin of my own
Scratching at the lid
But it’s nailed into bone
Burning up my mind
Burning up my veins
I’m fighting in the dark
With a face I hate
And I don’t know
If I get out of this alive
[Bridge]
Is this prison
Or protection?
Did I lock the door myself? (myself)
If I loosen up my grip
Do I finally need help?
[Chorus]
I’m forever enclosed in a coffin of my own
Scratching at the lid
But it’s nailed into bone
Burning up my mind
Burning up my veins
I’m fighting in the dark
With a face I hate
But I’m still here
Still here
Still screaming to survive
