It Was Built to Break

Break Nothing changes when you get what you want There is no growth without loss This is the price of understanding Pain is the cost Burn the field, salt the earth Drive your picks into the cracks Don't stop (don't stop) Don't stop until there's nothing left Until you're nothing This is how it feels to start over To have your foundation disappear (disappear) I can't speak, I can't breathe Apologies can't pull out the knife I was afraid of being a list of symptoms To be summarized in terms and phrases To not be special To not be different To be a definition (definition) I was afraid of pills I was afraid of help I'd do anything to not admit I was killing myself I had so much pride in just getting by I was too selfish to see that my conditions are not unique My whole life, I made my emotions my identity When I learned there are people just like me The world got brighter And a little less lonely It will all end in tears These parts of me will always linger Until the day I fucking die
