I'm playing cool and swell 

But I've been through all hell 

Trying to make a break, think 

And then forget about it 

Better if it rings out 

I'm acting through it all 





Making up excuses 

Running from your eyes 

Drowning in your side 

Flooded in our blood 

Underneath your water 

Bound and gagged, I fight 

Gotta get undone 

Cause I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I just want to get out 



It's closing in somehow 

Pressed up against me now 

Get under my skin, take 

A knife and cut it out 

I just want to get it out 

The walls have closed somehow 





Making up excuses 

Running from your eyes 

Drowning in your side 

Flooded in our blood 

Underneath your water 

Bound and gagged, I fight 

Gotta get undone 

Cause I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I just want to get out 

I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I don't want to break 

I just want to get out



Turning blue and no surprise 

I'm not breathing when I'm not inspired





Making up excuses 

Running from your eyes 

Drowning in your side 

Flooded in our blood 

Underneath your water 

Bound and gagged, I fight 

Gotta get undone 

Cause I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I just want to get out 

I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I just want to get out 

I don't want to break 

I don't want to fake 

I don't want to break 

I just want to get out
