"SUBTITLES" lyrics

I see your lips moving, can't hear what you're saying
Look down on my shoes
And the rhythm keeps playing in the back of my mind
Am I falling behind? Am I falling behind?
The lights are too loud, the sound's so bright
I'm grieving the rest of my life
Deceiving myself just to feel alright
It never gets better

I take it back
Comprehension is something we lack
Play the captions and turn down the dialogue
No distractions, just turn the subtitles on

I wish that this life had come free with instructions
I'm sick of soul searching, just trying to function
It's crazy how I'll take until twenty-five faking
That I'll be alright because I'll be alright
And maybe if I tried more, and maybe if I ignore
The headache that's stuck in the back of my mind
That I've trampled to death
Tied my knots 'round it's head
Till I find its last breath
And that's never coming, so

I take it back
Comprehension is something we lack
Play the captions and turn down the dialogue
No distractions, just turn the subtitles on
I might just crack
Feel the tension I stopped holding back
And we dance and we fight and we numb the pain
Out of sight, find another quick hideaway (Hideaway, hideaway)

The lights are too loud, the sound's so bright
(I'm grieving for the rest of my life)
Deceiving myself just to feel alright
(It never gets better)

I take it back
Comprehension is something we lack
Play the captions and turn down the dialogue
No distractions, just turn the subtitles on
