Cu
Boston Manor Lyrics

Slam on my breaks, and take us off the road
Stop the car abruptly and take us away from civilization.

Take off my sweater, cause the cold's in my bones
Remove my clothing as the frigid temperatures have penetrated deep into my body.

Censor me and let me be, a piece of fiction for the rest of my life
Conceal the truth and allow me to exist as an imaginary character for eternity.

(Trapped under the ice, still under the ice)
I am metaphorically trapped beneath the surface of a frozen lake and unable to escape.

Censor me and let me be, a blessed burden till the day that I die
Suppress my reality and permit me to serve as a welcomed burden until my inevitable death.

(Trapped under the ice, I'm still under the ice)
Despite my best efforts, I am still figuratively stuck beneath the ice and cannot escape its clutches.

Be me, be my everything
Assume my identity and fulfill all aspects of my life.

Be the air that I breathe and ignore me
Provide me with the sustenance I need to survive, but don't pay attention to me otherwise.

Take me away, make me rue the day
Remove me from my current situation and cause me to regret my past actions.

That I told that lie and got my just desserts
Remind me of the falsehoods I've spoken and the rightful punishment I received as a result.

Don't tell me that it hurts
I am trying to numb myself to the pain, so please don't remind me of it.

Lie to me (I'm the one you should blame)
Deceive me as I am culpable for the current state of affairs.

Lie to me (Cause it helps with the pain)
Continue to lie to me as it serves as a form of relief from the emotional anguish.

And instead, I will pace against the fences in my head
In lieu of facing the reality of the situation, I will mentally pace back and forth in my mind.

To stop me thinking
As overthinking will only exacerbate the situation, I am attempting to prevent my mind from going into overdrive.

Do you feel like, you've sailed around the sun one too many times?
Have you ever had the impression that you've experienced the same thing repetitively, to the point of boredom?

So I'll just let the waters just swallow me whole
I will metaphorically allow the water to engulf me as I give up on my struggle to overcome my problems.

Split open my head and empty my skull
I wish to have my thoughts exposed and leave my mind vulnerable.

Bury myself in something I built
Escape reality by immersing myself in something I created.

I couldn't see because the sun was in my eyes
I was blinded by the light, preventing me from seeing things clearly.

I've been sad since I was ten
I've been emotionally pained since I was very young.

I wrote the book on giving in
I have extensive experience in surrendering to feelings of hopelessness and despair.

I feel the weight, I feel the weight
I am carrying the heavy burden of my emotions and problems, which is overwhelming.
