lyrics

The cinder blocks are tied to my feet
I’m going under
A not so sweet defeat
If you need me I’ll be breathing in water
You tried to free me
Well you could’ve tried harder

You tried to knock on my love’s locked door
Thinking that you found the key under the floor
But you just scratched the surface
And in the end you lost it
In the end you lost it

I’m an overachiever at underachieving
I’m just rolling along
With acrimonious punches
I’m passively receiving
And I’m endlessly retrieving
And I’ve seen better places than this

All you had to say was that you’re tired
But you left me out to hang on your tangled wire
The one you used to wrap me up
Around your finger, you could try to give a fuck
In the end you lost it

I’m an overachiever at underachieving
I’m just rolling along with acrimonious punches
I’m passively receiving and I’m endlessly retrieving
And I’ve seen better places than this

You picked these petty things
And tied them to a string
And wore them all like pendulums
And dragged them all along, like
Time seems almost gone, like
We’re losing our momentum
You carried too much crooked weight
And in the end you lost it

I said look how far we’ve come
You said “you’ve gone too far”
When did you draw the line
Your cryptic signs

I said I’d wait until you’re ready
You said “I’m not that steady baby,
I’m fucked up lately”

Did you think I’d leave unscathed
This is the price that I have paid
For my mistakes

I thought we’d be together
I’m not under the weather
I’m becoming the storm

I’m an overachiever at underachieving
I’m just rolling along
With acrimonious punches
I’m passively receiving
And I’m endlessly retrieving
And I’ve seen better places than this
