Stagnant Lyrics

I haven't felt this way in a long time

Not at war with myself

And not with anyone else

Is this what it is like to feel

I want more

I'm shaken to the core

In my dreams

Happy faces, cheerful smiles

But their bliss is a lie

Their smiles are fake

Their eyes are blind

They don't sympathize

They don't sympathize

My mountains are just the background of the picture now

I don't feel the uncertainty

Finally breathing

I take a deep breath

And hold it in,

And hope to God this feeling never ends

There has to be a catch

Tranquility

Always comes with a price

We all pay up

Not a matter of if

But when

I'm so sick of this shit

I take a deep breath

And hold it in

And hope to God that this feeling never ends

Do I bring this on myself

Could this be the truth?

Why not?

All my plans are falling through

I was naïve

To think that the slate could be wiped clean

Stagnant

I'm tired of trying to change

While everyone around me always stays the same

Punished for my good intentions

These stains can't be washed away

Do I bring this on myself

Could this be the truth?

Why not? All my plans are falling through

I had it all wrong

My mountains are

Just reflections in the ocean I have left to swim

I am never getting out of here
