Shadowboxing

Lyrics

Born cutting teeth on the curb
 Summoning ghosts up from the concrete
 Keep me company while I learn
 Shadowboxing with giants
 Grew from our feet
 I know that you don't understand
 ♪
 'Cause you don't believe what you don't see
 When you watch me throwing punches at the devil
 
 It just looks like I'm fighting with me
 But there's a comfort in failure
 Singing too loud in church
 Screaming my fears into speakers
 'Till I collapse or I burst
 Whichever comes first
 I know you were trying to help
 But you're only making it worse
 Tell me that I shouldn't blame myself
 But you can't even imagine how badly it hurts
 Just to think sometimes
 How I think almost all the time
 ♪
 So break me down
 Fold it over your arms
 Like an unloaded shotgun
 Dismantled and harmless
 Even you couldn't manage to pull
 The fuse from the back of my head
 When you tell me you love me
 Tell me you loved me
 I wanted so bad to believe it
 So tell me you love me
 Tell me you loved me
 I wanted so bad
 I wanted so bad to believe you
 
 Born cutting teeth on the curb
 Summoning ghosts up from the concrete
 Keep me company while I learn
 Shadowboxing with giants
 Grew from our feet
 I know that you don't understand
 ♪
 'Cause you don't believe what you don't see
 When you watch me throwing punches at the devil
 
 It just looks like I'm fighting with me
 But there's a comfort in failure
 Singing too loud in church
 Screaming my fears into speakers
 'Till I collapse or I burst
 Whichever comes first
 I know you were trying to help
 But you're only making it worse
 Tell me that I shouldn't blame myself
 But you can't even imagine how badly it hurts
 Just to think sometimes
 How I think almost all the time
 ♪
 So break me down
 Fold it over your arms
 Like an unloaded shotgun
 Dismantled and harmless
 Even you couldn't manage to pull
 The fuse from the back of my head
 When you tell me you love me
 Tell me you loved me
 I wanted so bad to believe it
 So tell me you love me
 Tell me you loved me
 I wanted so bad
 I wanted so bad to believe you
