lyrics

I get the feeling that I'm missing out
It's on the tip of my tongue
And the words just won't come out
Always ask so much more of myself
Because I spend all my time wishing I was somewhere else

It feels like it's getting harder to breathe
With the rush of thoughts and no time for reprieve
Always told that it's all in my head
When my response goes unsaid

There is no safe place to be found here
The walls in my mind are built too high
How can I overcome my fears?
Anxiety has got me built to break

You tell yourself it'll be ok
While I sit here at home and I wish for better days
No excuse to give up in the end
While I'm stuck here alone with these messages unsent

I'm breaking up into smaller pieces
And I hope someone will finally notice

There is no safe place to be found here
The walls in my mind are built too high
How can I overcome my fears?
Anxiety has got me built to break

I wish I could let go
But no one ever taught me how

I get the feeling that I'm missing out
It's on the tip of my tongue
And the words just won't come out
Always ask so much more of myself
Because I spend all my time wishing I was somewhere else

This fucking band is an instant classic. Every song is amazing, each of their albums have a ton of hits that should be chart toppers. Sounds like Sublime and the Flatliners. Curtis Unger

I'm Not Gonna Lie To You
by The Decline

supported by 4 fans who also own “Built To Break”

This is a damn fine release. It feels genuine; at times even emotional (in a good way). It's fun and witty while also being pissed off in all the right ways. It's political, critical, and nonconformist. Yet it still manages to feel original in an arguably oversaturated genre. Nicholas Whittemore
