[Verse 1]
Shook down, aching to the core
When ruptured powerless
We'd see red to horizon
If there were care left spare to give
Sanity’s swinging on a shoestring
Numb to epiphany

[Verse 2]
What gives in the dirty corners
Call it will, call it anything
Heartbroke and dreamin' in a backseat
Living in a head, right in the skin
Sanity's swinging on a shoestring
When shots fired too easily

[Chorus]
Do we suffer only to recover?
Coming up for air before the cycle takes me in
Suffocating, aspirations fading
Coming up for air until the cycle starts again
Starts again

[Verse 3]
Wake up in another headspace
All’s well and immediate
It's high time to live a little easy
And know who the hell we're fighting for
Who's down to sever that shoestring?
Who needs autonomy
[Chorus]
Do we suffer only to recover?
Coming up for air before the cycle takes me in
Suffocating, aspirations fading
Coming up for air until the cycle starts again
Up for air until the cycle starts again

[Bridge]
Go kill your menace deep in your heart
Show some love and open your arms
Go kill your menace deep in your heart
Show some love and open your arms

[Chorus]
Do we suffer only to recover?
Coming up for air before the cycle takes me in
Suffocating, aspirations fading
Coming up for air until the cycle starts again
Do we suffer only to recover?
Coming up for air before the cycle takes me in
Suffocating, aspirations fading
Coming up for air until the cycle starts again
Up for air until the cycle starts again
Up for air until the cycle starts again
