Pulling Threads from I'm Shy by The Briefly Gorgeous

i was told that hope's a fragile thing, and i suppose it's true
but i'm afraid that i've accepted it
and i'm trying not to be completely helpless all the time
but it's not so easy taking my own advice

cause i'm just trying to feel anything
go ahead, treat me like i'm only worth the hours i run in circles
until i fall down
i can't keep fighting everything
pulling threads, screaming until my lungs give out
it's just another morning to wake up

i don't know the difference between letting go and giving up
there's no time to take care of myself and nothing's good enough
god i hate that i'm dissociating again
pouring over every ending with a morbid curiosity

should i even pretend to be surprised about it?

cause i'm just trying to feel anything
go ahead, treat me like i'm only worth the hours i run in circles
until i fall down
i can't keep fighting everything
pulling threads, screaming until my lungs give out
it's just another morning to wake up
