lyrics

I'm a deer in the headlights, and I'm trying to believe it, but I don't think I'll survive. There's a drumming in my head. And it's starting to make me feel like nothing's real, but I'll just leave it all behind and colour outside the lines.

Why do minds play us like this?
I think I'm losing mine, I think I'm losing mine.

maybe this isn’t the worst winter this mind has ever seen. And maybe someone will care to hear my songs, I see your emotions telling me it's time to leave. You have the eyes of the storm.

The world isn't getting darker everytime a tear sets on your face.
We're all gladiators in our own race.

I'm a deer in the headlights, and I'm trying to believe it, but I don't think I'll survive. There's a drumming in my head. And it's starting to make me feel like nothing's real, but I'll just leave it all behind and colour outside the lines.

Why do minds play us like this?
I think I'm losing mine, I think I'm losing mine

There's red eyes, latelines, rainy days ahead. Apologies, waiting around, I feel your pain. Unheld hands, the burning sun, mind games, but me you'll be back againnnnn

The world isn't getting darker everytime a tear sets on your face.
We're all gladiators in our own race.

I'm a deer in the headlights, and I'm trying to believe it, but I don't think I'll survive. There's a drumming in my head. And it's starting to make me feel like nothing's real, but I'll just leave it all behind and colour outside the lines.

Why do minds play us like this?
I think I'm losing mine, I think I'm losing mine
Why do minds kill us like this?
ooooooooooooooooooh
we are all fools.
we are all fools.
I never want to finish the life I've started.
