Apprehension
Keep Your Secrets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

I'm tired
I am mentally and emotionally exhausted
It's harder to see what living is for
It is becoming increasingly challenging to understand the purpose of existence
But every time I wake up
Yet, with each new day that dawns
I know I'll always need something more
I am aware that I will continuously seek something additional
It's a feeling I can't ignore
It is an emotion that I cannot overlook

I'm breaking down I'll fucking scream
I am crumbling and on the verge of releasing all my emotions
You know I'd go through all extremes
You understand that I am willing to go to any lengths

But 'til I'm six feet underground
Until the moment of my passing
I'll do whatever it takes to find a way
I am committed to doing everything necessary to discover a solution
