about

This is a song about dealing with your mind when it goes back to a dark place.

lyrics

It's a downward spiral
Staying inside
Finding every reason not to socialise
Ending up lonely
Nobody know me
So I buried my pain with sand from the desert I was living in
Took a couple years to love my skin
Then I tried again

But now my old coping mechanism's coming out of my system
Never mind about all the things that I'll be missing
Now I'm backtracking years like it's 2015
Who can hurt me if I can't be seen?

Old coping mechanism crawling in through the back door
Suddenly the real world isn't anymore
Why should I leave my bedroom when it's easy inside?
It's a wonderful place to hide

Never been the best at making friends
So I became the best one for myself
And staying alone meant there was no torment but my own
And now the invisible war I fight takes me back to the outdated file
Gonna be here a while

Now my old coping mechanism's coming out of my system
Never mind about all the things that I'll be missing
Now I'm backtracking years like it's 2015
Who can hurt me if I can't be seen?

Old coping mechanism crawling in through the back door
Suddenly the real world isn't anymore
Why should I leave my bedroom when it's easy inside?
It's a wonderful place to hide

mmm mmm
aaaah aaaah

Now my old coping mechanism's coming out of my system
Never mind about all the things that I'll be missing
Now I'm backtracking years like it's 2015
Who can hurt me if I can't be seen?

Old coping mechanism crawling in through the back door
Suddenly the real world isn't anymore
Why should I leave my bedroom when it's easy inside?
It's a wonderful place to hide
