"drown" lyrics

I'm the static
I'm the signal
When the sky breaks
I'm the past tense
They don't need me
A false messiah
A plastic prophet
For when they get sad

But maybe I was built to bend
Twist the blade and turn it once again
Show the cracks I tried to mend
'Cause I hate the way this story ends

Trying just to feel alive
But this mirror lies
Strangers staring back
Wearing all my wasted time
These regrets I hide
Break me till I drown
(Break me till I drown)

I'm the silence
God forsaken
In a dead church
I'm the hunger
You've devoured
You were a savior
But now I'm drowning
In the ashes I create

But maybe I was built to bend
Twist the blade and turn it once again
Show the cracks I tried to mend
'Cause I hate the way this story ends

Trying just to feel alive
But this mirror lies
Stranger staring back
Wearing all my wasted time
These regrets I hide
Break me till I drown

I want you to break me till I drown
I want you to break me till I drown, drown, drown
Break me down, down, down

Trying just to feel alive
But this mirror lies
Stranger staring back
Wearing all my wasted time
These regrets I hide
Break me till I drown

I want you to break me till I drown
I want you to break me till I drown, drown, drown
Break me down, down, down
