Teach Me

 Tell me how to forget this

And pretend I'm fine

Tell me how to fake it

Without wasting time

Burning all the pages

To this life

Im tired of the fake shit

Just tell me lies

Suffocation from the pressure 

Under crashing waves

Falling further from the light

I once knew as a saving grace

So teach me

How to start over again 

I'm at the end of this thread

Waiting for it to end

Teach me

How to start from nothing

I'm ready for something new

Burn these bridges

And set these demons free

I've lost count

Of how many times

I claimed I stopped caring

Lost sight of the kid 

Who said goodbye

Without a second thought

It's all fun and games

Till we grow complacent 

Too comfortable 

To move away

Falling numb

To everything that we love

I don't wanna be 

Another casualty 

In this society 

I don't wanna be begging 

For something

I'll never see

I don't wanna feel numb forever

Refusing to conform

To this reality 

Killing us all
