Lyrics
I used to shake in a darkened room
Blanket pulled tight like a fragile tomb
Counting the breaths, holding in screams
Praying dawn would murder the things I'd seen
Told myself: "Just grow up, just grow fast..."
Teeth clenched tight, fingernails in glass
Thought adulthood was a lock on the door โ
Didn't know what was waiting in store
If I get bigger
If I get stronger
They can't reach me
They can't follow
I WAS SO FUCKING WRONG
THEY DIDN'T LEAVE โ THEY JUST MOVED INSIDE
CRAWLED THROUGH MY VEINS, MADE A HOME IN MY MIND
NO MORE DARKNESS UNDER THE BED
NOW THEY SCREAM, THEY SCREAM IN MY HEAD
I TRIED TO ESCAPE, I TRIED TO HIDE
BUT THE MONSTERS JUST LEARNED TO FUCKING CLIMB
Grew taller, grew colder, made of stone
But I never felt less alone
Every mirror became an enemy
Every thought choking the air out of me
No flashlight can chase these shapes away
No morning light, no brighter day
They learned my name, they learned my fears
They drink from my doubt, they feed on years
There's no bed
There's no floor
There's no safe place
ANYMORE
THEY DIDN'T LEAVE โ THEY JUST MOVED INSIDE
BURIED ALIVE IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
NO MORE SCRATCHING WOOD OR FLOOR
NOW IT'S BONES AND BLOOD AND WAR
I TRIED TO ESCAPE, I TRIED TO HIDE
BUT THE MONSTERS JUST LEARNED TO FUCKING CLIMB
I wanted peace โ
I wanted sleep โ
I wanted silence โ
BUT THEY GAVE ME
ECHOES
TEETH
AND MEMORIES I CAN'T BLEED OUT
GROW UP!
GROW UP!
GROW UP!
THEY GREW WITH ME
THEY GREW WITH ME
They never lived under my bed
They lived in the cracks of my head
I built them bones, I built them breath
Now I'm choking on what I fed
I grew so they couldn't touch me
Now I can't escape me
