Husk

I've felt too much and I'm turning numb
 Like a worn-out knife I've become so dull
 It's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
 And far harder with no armour to be human
 I keep pouring myself into songs
 Am I running out by living on?
 I can still hear him say
 "It's better to burn out than fade away"
 I'm starting to waste away
 A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet
 The twists and turns, they're beating me down
 I'm following steps blindly
 Tied down, confined to the routine
 The pages turn but it's always the same
 Someone give me direction
 Someone give me a sign
 I feel no connection
 Just walking the line
 Cause it's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
 And far harder with no armour to be human
 Cause it's easier to shut out the world and be a monster
 And far harder with no armour to be human
 I keep pouring myself into songs
 Am I running out by living on?
 I can still hear him say
 "It's better to burn out than fade away"
 I'm starting to waste away
 A bitter sweet dance in a slow ballet
 The twists and turns, they're beating me down
 I'm following steps blindly
 Tied down, confined to the routine
 The pages turn but it's always the same
