It Grows on You - Jack the Envious

I remember something different

And ponder in memories

That faded into nothing

Until you found me here

The pictures inside my head look perfect

But they sure can’t help me

Cause they can’t scratch the surface

When all I do is dream

Lately I’m drifting through life

And feed on the therapy

Being happy for others

Can’t replace what’s gone

But I can’t keep inquiring a life through a barrel of a gun

Breaking down again

Not more than a dent

When silhouettes used to mean something

Numb from all the pain

Just take me away, take me away

I wake up alone in silence, to think I got used to it

They say that time grows on you but it grows till it suffocates

And yet I hate to live life and wait

Here on the side for my next disappointment

I’m treading lightly to change what I can’t win to deal with the outcome of

waking up

And maybe one day I’ll stop feeling empty and start living my life

Breaking down again

Not more than a dent

When silhouettes used to mean something

Numb from all the pain

Just take me away, take me away

Are you proud of me?

Or do you proudly condemn

All in all just to save your skin

We can still pretend

That you drag me away, just drag me away

This time I’ve got to go it alone

I’ve got to find a way out

Away from all of these thoughts

This time I won’t be giving up

When the lights go out

It all ends the same

We’re all bruised and broken

It all ends the same

With words left unspoken

I might be wrong

Cause nothing seems to belong

I’ve sold the better part of me

To think this is moving on

Is this all that you wanted?

The emptiness precedes the dawn

Breaking down again

Not more than a dent

When silhouettes used to mean something

Numb from all the pain

Just take me away, take me away

Are you proud of me?

Or do you proudly condemn

All in all just to save your skin

We can still pretend

Just take me out of here
