lyrics

Always wanna be somewhere else
Always wanna be someone else
Useless fears got me more afraid of life than death

And I just wanna know how it feels to lose control

I’ll die a thousand times
From self-inflicted crimes
Running through my racing mind
In a prison of my own design

Wanna hold it in my hands
So I’ll make exit plans

Once we’re gone we’re gone
Once it’s done it’s done
Is it ever really noticed by anyone?

And now I think I know how it feels to lose control

I die a thousand times
From self-inflicted crimes
Running through my racing mind
In a prison of my own design

I hold it in my hands
Cause I’ve made exit plans

But when pain becomes purpose
Then maybe it’s worth it

We didn’t choose this
And we are not worthless

The sentence could’ve ended here

How can she treat herself like this?
Doesn’t she see the things she’d miss?
A reminder on her skin that life can begin

It’s in our control
Holding on by letting go

We could’ve died a thousand times
From self-inflicted crimes
Running through our racing minds
In a prison of our own design

Won’t let it slip through our hands
No need for exit plans

No need for exit plans
