Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear

[Verse 1]

We're born and we're raised

To stand up tall and straight

But then torn and reshaped

By other people's gaze

Oh to be a real man

Hangs heavy in your hands

But you keep quiet and do the best you can

To prove it to yourself and everyone else

When it seems like the only direction is down

[Verse 2]

No shelter from the shame

So you sit and drink away the pain

One to which you cannot place a name

So you shoulder all the blame, again and again

Unto yourself, this hollow shell

This cold and wicked, cruel and wretched hell

That you found but don't make a sound

Now it seems like the only direction is down

[Chorus]

Hey, you up on the edge

Where the wild waves are beckoning

The wind whips around your head

But the silence is deafening

If you call out, if you call out

If you call out, we'll be here

When you can't help, when you can't help

When you can't help feeling weird

Watching yourself slowly disappear

When you can't help feeling

You're watching yourself slowly disappear

[Chorus]

Hey, you up on the edge

Where the wild waves are beckoning

The wind whips around your head

But the silence is deafening

If you call out, if you call out

If you call out, we'll be here

When you can't help, when you can't help

When you can't help feeling weird

Watching yourself slowly disappear

Watching yourself slowly disappear

When you can't help feeling

You're watching yourself, watching yourself

Watching yourself slowly disappear
