Apprehension
Keep Your Secrets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These days I see my strength as weakness
I'm tired
It's harder to see what living is for
But every time I wake up
I know I'll always need something more
It's a feeling I can't ignore
Watch me bleed
As these hurricanes of thoughts surround me
This apprehension is killing me
I'm breaking down I'll fucking scream
You know I'd go through all extremes
Just to convince myself I'm glad I stayed
Although my words aren't that profound
But 'til I'm six feet underground
I'll do whatever it takes to find a way
Someday I'll find the strength to keep this
Desire
The farther I go the more I feel sore
It's such a heavy task to take on
To lift my feet up off the floor
With whatever I have in store
I won't concede
As these hurricanes of thoughts surround me
This apprehension is killing me
I'm breaking down I'll fucking scream
You know I'd go through all extremes
Just to convince myself I'm glad I stayed
Although my words aren't that profound
But 'til I'm six feet underground
I'll do whatever it takes to find a way
Don't wanna feel like a damn impostor
My dues are paid
I'm trying to keep my head above the water
But I'll never fade
I'm breaking down I'll fucking scream
You know I'd go through all extremes
Just to convince myself I'm glad I stayed
Although my words aren't that profound




But 'til I'm six feet underground
I'll do whatever it takes to find a way
