Sharks
Eclipses For Eyes Lyrics

I feel the most alone when I search for your affection.
I feel isolated and estranged when I attempt to gain your love and approval.

And you know it makes me fall apart, oh you've known it from the start.
You are aware that your actions are causing me to lose control and become emotionally unstable, and you have been aware of this from the beginning of our relationship.

There's no one I don't want to write about anymore.
There is no one whom I do not want to express my emotions and experiences through writing.

There's no one I don't want to sing about anymore.
There is no one whom I do not want to convey my emotions and experiences through singing.

You're a circle of sharks in open water.
You are a group of predators who are ready to attack and destroy me at any moment.

The voice inside my head that screams 'Why bother'
My inner self is wondering why I am still trying and hoping for a better outcome when all signs indicate otherwise.

Each time I'm vulnerable is a chance for you to make me feel guilty.
Every instance of me displaying vulnerability to you is an opportunity for you to make me feel ashamed and accountable for things not within my control.

And every time you're hurting is another, another point for me.
Every time you are suffering emotionally, it is a victory for me, as I view it as a sign of your weakness and my power over you.

Oh, this is a sick game. Oh.
This is not a healthy or productive relationship, and the dynamics of our interactions are twisted and harmful.

I don't fear the dark. I'm scared of what's in it.
I am not afraid of literal darkness, but I am fearful of the unknown and uncertain consequences of certain situations.

The quiet doesn't shake me. I'm terrified of its stillness.
Silence does not inherently frighten me, but the complete lack of sound causes me to be deeply fearful and unsettled.

You're a circle of sharks in open water.
You are a group of predators pursuing me relentlessly in a vast and dangerous setting.

The voice inside my head that screams 'Why bother'
My inner self is questioning the futility of my attempts to evade or overcome your power and destructive behavior.

You're a circle of sharks in open water.
You are persistently attacking and tormenting me, like a pack of hungry sharks in unbounded territory.

The voice inside my head that screams 'Why bother'
My internal monologue is constantly bewildered at my continued efforts to improve our relationship, despite the unrelenting hostility and aggression from your side.
