It's piling up, a constant hunger I've been yearning for so long
You'd start to think that I'd get used to this, with every problem I dwell on
I'm still suffering, is this what I need? A new love for a false sense of peace
Justify the sad excuse of a stranger I call "me"
And if you pull the heartstrings, I'm closed in with clipped wings
I couldn't be enough for
anyone when I hate myself
The peace offering doesn't mean anything
When all I see are these insecurities making me my enemy
I’ll pretend that I’m okay like this
But can you tell by my tone of voice it’s not up to choice
for getting out of this bed I'm in
Staying dormant in dark places I fall right back in
I concealed the guilt, tearing down any love I built
Now I’m wearing thin, I'm letting go,
as you’re slipping (feel it all cave in)
Will this pain be useful someday?
Pessimism finds its way, to keep seeping through my veins
I’m all worn down, I can’t wait this out
My mental health is defeated now
I heard the sound in this broken house,
the memory serves me well
Please, could you pick up the phone?
I’d say it all, i’d make it known
That I’m not what I seem and you’re everything
in between someone who’s leaving

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
