Collapse
Me the Mountain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel the room start to take on life
New sense just breaking in
I feel the rest just fall apart
No hope for hopelessness
Try to take a breath but no sense to try
No hope for hopeless man, no sense to take a life
No room to breathe
I can feel the pressure building
No room for this
Only walls collapsing
Collapse, collapse, collapse
The walls are closing in
No you can′t
Take this from me
No you can't
Take this from me
No you can′t
Take this from me
No you can't
Take this
No hope for hopeless me, No sense to take a life
No room to breathe
I feel my body start to rot
I've killed the best of me
Now that′s my only fault
What to do with the rest of me
I feel my body start to...
Again
I break
I break into something
Again I break
I break into something else
Rebuild
Rebuild, rebuilding me
Rebuild
Rebuild, Rebuilding
I′ll be made anew
I can feel the pressure building
No room for this
Only walls collapsing
Collapse
