"Shatterdome" lyrics

"Shatterdome"

So lemme tell you 'bout
Cold sleep
I can't repeat
Putting everybody else
Right in front of my own needs
Guess self-care has to get in line
I mean I feel fine
But my mental health is on the decline
Another day in, day out
Clock in, clock out repeat
Putting my sanity onto the funeral pile
Just to feed the machine

Could there be more to this madness?
Is there something I've missed?
Is there another way
Or do I have to live like this?
In and out of the rotary blades
Searching for the sun just to be banished to the shade
Have I abandoned all self worth? No

Frozen, locked in time
And I can't stop pretending
That I'd give it all, I'd rise and fall
To find myself a happy ending
And I know that we are all sinking in the same boat
But I feel like I'm drowning alone
Don't let me go

Lately, I'm like a ticking time bomb
So strike the match to light the fuse
Just to watch me burn
Yeah, just to watch me burn

Can you just give me a sign?
A single fragment, a point in time
That I could make something of myself
I'll have my chance to shine

So c'mon
I've taken myself for granted
For far too long
Rebuild, rebuild
My body cast in stone
Knock me down just to build me up
Inside this shatterdome

Frozen, locked in time
And I can't stop pretending
That I'd give it all, I'd rise and fall
To find myself a happy ending
And I know that we are all sinking in the same boat, but I feel like I'm drowning alone
Don't let me go
Just don't let me go

I've lived, I've loved and I've lost it all
Built myself back up, just to witness my downfall

Here we go again
Rebuild, rebuild
My body cast in stone
Knock me down just to build me up
Inside this shatterdome

Frozen, locked in time
And I can't stop pretending
That I'd give it all, I'd rise and fall
To find myself a happy ending
And I know that we are all sinking in the same boat
But I feel like I'm drowning alone

Rebuild me, rebuild me
My body cast in stone (body cast in stone)
Rebuild me, rebuild me
Inside this shatterdome (inside this shatterdome)
