Still_Bloom - Scanner-01

{Chorus}
I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself
Inching closer and closer to my last farewell
I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself
I’m on a hollow high and I can’t come down

{Verse 1}
The lights flicker and I lay exposed
The digital sun leaves me colder
Still spiralling
I’m a danger to myself
It’s been years and I’m still drowned in the sound of static
The sound of the scanner
The sound of the scanner
So I bite my nails until my fingers bleed
Because I’m face-to-face with the worst part of me
Drowning in cliches, and embedded in sleep
I peel the mask and let the wound weep

{Chorus}
I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself
Inching closer and closer to my last farewell
I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself
I’m on a hollow high and I can’t come down

{Verse 2}
And so I
Whisper to myself
This is only the beginning, just close your eyes
You can’t block out the visions but they will go away in time
Grit your teeth
And grind them to dust
The clock is stopped
Look around, we’re all lost
Look around, we’re all fucked
Just look around, we’re all fucked

{Breakdown}

{Bridge}
Pushing and pulling
I push and pull, I tear myself apart
Buckling against the motion, the scanner sees into my heart
Into my heart

{Chorus}
I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself
Inching closer and closer to my last farewell
I’ve been cracking, caving in on myself
I’m on a hollow high and I can’t come down
And I can’t come down
Come down
And I can’t calm
(Down)
