lyrics

She's waitin
for somethin' to believe in
and it starts
with her teeth
as they're shinin’
he's still dyin'
on his crutch
and he can't get relief 'cause he's

waitin'
to break with the dark and turn it into clouds but I'm
healin'
this brick wall's a little bit louder and
Failin'
He hurts though he says he don't want it to
and beaten
and he says

''I'm bitter, I'm bittersweet built.
I'm torn up with survivor's guilt
I'm bitter and yet worst of all
is I can tell
you don't know me at all''

''I'm bitter, I'm bittersweet built.
I'm torn up with survivor's guilt
I'm bitter and yet worst of all
is I can tell you don't know me at all
I can tell you don't know me at all''

He's dyin
she's tryin'
but I'm open
if it gets him
relief
time is flyin'
but here I am
like a crutch
on the wrong side of grief cuz I'm

waitin'
to break with the dark and turn it into light but I'm
Healin'
this brick wall's a little bit louder and
Failin'
I hurt and I don't fuckin' want it to
I'm beaten

and we say

''We're bitter, We're bittersweet built.
We're torn up with survivor's guilt
We're bitter and yet worst of all
is I can tell you don't know me at all
and I can tell you don't know me at all
and I can tell you don't know me at all
I can tell you don't know me at all.''
