Lyrics

flicker start

It's discouraging, I thought everything was great
I've been circling 'round the block inside my brain
And I can't figure out what to do today
Everyone's having fun, but I can't relate

Need a flicker start, need it pouring through my veins
Don't know where to start, and I don't know who to blame
'Cause I can't figure out what to do today
Everyone's having fun, but I can't relate

Let me out my head, let my mind run free
Let me just pretend that I feel like me
Need a flicker start, 'cause I'm ready
Anything to spark a new beginning

Need a flicker start, slow burn to a flame
It's a crawling march, and I'm fighting for a change
How do I keep going if I don't know where I'm going every night and morning?
How do I keep going if I don't know where I'm going?

Let me out my head, let my mind run free
Let me just pretend that I feel like me
Need a flicker start, 'cause I'm ready
Anything to spark a new beginning

It's a uphill, standstill, sweat on my back
As the Sunday sun burns cold through the glass
And I'm dying under pressure, turning diamonds into stone
I can't feel my bones

Let me out my head, let my mind run free
Let me just pretend that I feel like me
Need a flicker start, 'cause I'm ready
Anything to spark a new beginning

Let me out my head, let my mind run free
Let me just pretend that I feel like me
Need a flicker start, 'cause I'm ready
Anything to spark a new beginning

It's discouraging, I thought everything was great
I've been circling 'round the block inside my brain
And I can't figure out what to do today
Everyone's having fun, but I can't relate
