Lyrics
I made it up so high
Just to see the mess I created
It’s like I’m trapped on a landmine
Walking on a battlefield but I can’t mind
I’m so obsessed
Feels like I woke up from death
Resonate that voice in my head
There is a reason to breathe
But no reason to feel
Chasing the thrills
and I’m feeling surreal
Breaking my will
Without any scheme
I woke up from death
To see
I made it up so high
Just to see the mess I created
I try to do the same mistakes
Everyone else has made
But me
It’s like a drug
That forces me
To dream in the same dream
That won’t fade away
I keep on running in circles
Knowing I’m not changing
But it feels like
I’m okay
Don’t know how to move
Don’t know what to prove
And nothing feels true
I made it up so high
Just to see the mess I created
I try to do the same mistakes
Everyone else has made
But me
I woke up early
Took my time
Getting ready to exist
It‘s mine to waste
But at least it’s mine
Not all I want
But it’s all that’s left
I barely see
What’s ahead of me
I won’t wait too long
Now I’ll set me free
Sink or swim
Because I won’t be saved
knowing that I
Can’t pretend anymore
Sink or swim
Cause there are no more lies to use
Don’t know how to win
Don’t know how to lose
This time I choose
