Lyrics:
Each days a drag
The moments lag
Can’t seem to find peace of mind
When I’m killing time wish I could hit rewind
Check my phone
Feel so alone
Itching to get myself out
but I’m just stuck on this never ending roundabout
Trial and error, I don’t mean to scare ya
But it is too late you see
And now you must go on without me
Save yourself
Find someone else
Cos i’m a ticking time bomb and I’m about to blow
I’ve hit code red
Need to find a way out of my own head
Nothing’s safe for me in here
Said that it was for my own protection
But how can I trust my own reflection?
Code red
Who’s coming to my rescue?
Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside
Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside
So close to the edge
Here’s where I make my pledge
Willing to let myself fall
If it will make it stop, that never ending call
It’s fight or flight
Which do I sacrifice
As I come up slowly for air
Reaching out hopelessly to my despair
Trial and error, I don’t mean to scare ya
But it is too late you see
And now you must go on without me
Save yourself
Find someone else
Cos i’m a ticking time bomb and I’m about to blow
I’ve hit code red
Need to find a way out of my own head
Nothing’s safe for me in here
Said that it was for my own protection
but how can I trust my own reflection?
Code red
Who’s coming to my rescue?
Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside
Said I was beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside and out
Beautiful on the inside, inside, inside, inside
Will I ever just, ever just
Ever just figure it out?
Figure it out what’s going on inside my head
I guess you never did, never did
Never did figure me out
So I say this for your own protection
Code red
I need to find a way out of my own head
Nothing’s safe for me in here
I said that it was for my own protection
But how can I trust my own reflection?
Code red
Who’s coming to my rescue?
