Whispers follow you

You should have opened your eyes earlier
To realize bad things were going on all along
They talk behind your back and whispers follow you
They pity you and wonder how you could ignore
The tingling sensation creeping under your skin
Can't keep this heat at bay
Just crashing expectations you've been keeping alive
And everything you do just feeds the flame

Everything I thought was real was only lies
I'm giving up, I'm taking back all that is mine
I am just a shell of who I used to be
I'm breaking out of this prison that you built around me
This thing inside me tells me hell will soon break loose
With all these secrets and confusion around you
Just come and get me, if you want me here I am
Just take it or leave it but don't drag me down with you

The tingling sensation creeping under your skin
Can't keep this heat at bay
Just crashing expectations you've been keeping alive
And everything you do just feeds the flame
Everything I thought was real was only lies
I'm giving up, I'm taking back all that is mine
I am just a shell of who I used to be
I'm breaking out of this prison that you built around me
