The 5th

I can see the place
I can see the halls and spaces that broke my soul
And it still calls when everything's numb and I'm alone
I'll take it slow
Take it slow
I've been keepin' track
I marked the days since last time
Incidents are spaced by rare occasions where my lips scream
Light it up
It's an all or nothin' play though
Ashes settle when I say so
Then I can't say so
I'm restin' now
That's what I tell myself
But it's never enough
Maybe I'm thinkin' too much
And I don't want you to know

You see
You're callin' from the back seat
You're tellin' us it's perfect
Perfect
Perfect
You can't see
We've been fallin' from the 5th story
Hope we don't hit the surface
It ain't perfect
Perfect

Hold the weight inside my lungs I'm heavy breathin'
Novocain is not enough to numb the feelin'
Float this way six feet above but what's the reason?
What's the reason?
Blame it on days in the places they made for the people just like me
Kinda one sided but all are divided by mirrors like these
Take what I say and explain it away as just minimal psyche
Mirrors I see

You see
You're callin' from the back seat
You're tellin' us it's perfect
Perfect
Perfect
You can't see
We've been fallin' from the 5th story
Hope we don't hit the surface
It ain't perfect
Perfect
