"Like A Mantra" lyrics

If I stay here
I'll be the change no one can see
Everyone's a flower
I am king of the weeds
I will become an invasive species

If I stay here
I'll be alright, that might be it
If ignorance is bliss, I am an idiot
I'll feel no pain, in my castle with a bridge

So won't you stay here with me?
You can try on my insecurity
Almost like a mantra, almost like I wanted you to hold me back

If we stay here
We would never fight, until we do
Turn the vacuum on, suck the air out of the room
Finally you say it, finally the truth

It was never about the dog
More like everything it represents
I'm speaking now in present tense
I hate your fucking guts
I guess you needed more than somebody to trust

So won't you stay here with me?
You can validate all my feelings
Almost like a mantra
Almost like I wanted you to hold you me back
Almost like a mantra
Almost like I wanted you to hold you me back

Remind me how to feel
Back to the original wheel
I need a new drum to practice
Love as the axis
Love as the axis

Almost like a mantra
Almost like I wanted you to hold me back

Almost like a mantra
Almost like I wanted you to hold me back
