In the beginning it was worth this
Do the worst, feel complete
Passing standards others meet
(What we do best)

Now, perfect endings make you anxious
Heavy head, a colder sweat
Leaving nothing here
Nothing to regret

Why am I still suffocating?
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating?
Constantly devastated just to stay alive, ohh

I miss the old days that we murdered
They're so far gone, out of reach
Watch your fate with summers heat
(Well, it goes like this)

Without a break from this distraction
I need a change
A different scene
A new approach on coming clean

Why am I still suffocating?
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating?
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Still searching for a back door out of here
Reassured that old friends will reappear
Why am I still suffocating?
Hold your breath deep and I'll keep waiting

Still searching for a back door out of here
Reassured that old friends will reappear
Why am I still suffocating?
Hold your breath deep and I'll keep waiting, waiting

Why am I still suffocating?
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating?
Constantly devastated just to stay alive, ohh
