I'm playing cool and swell
But I've been through all hell
Trying to make a break, think
And then forget about it
Better if it rings out
I'm acting through it all

Making up excuses
Running from your eyes
Drowning in your side
Flooded in our blood
Underneath your water
Bound and gagged, I fight
Gotta get undone
Cause I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I just want to get out

It's closing in somehow
Pressed up against me now
Get under my skin, take
A knife and cut it out
I just want to get it out
The walls have closed somehow

Making up excuses
Running from your eyes
Drowning in your side
Flooded in our blood
Underneath your water
Bound and gagged, I fight
Gotta get undone
Cause I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I just want to get out
I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I don't want to break
I just want to get out

Turning blue and no surprise
I'm not breathing when I'm not inspired

Making up excuses
Running from your eyes
Drowning in your side
Flooded in our blood
Underneath your water
Bound and gagged, I fight
Gotta get undone
Cause I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I just want to get out
I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I just want to get out
I don't want to break
I don't want to fake
I don't want to break
I just want to get out
