The First Eviction Notice by The Lawrence Arms Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A temple corroded, eviction pending
Embrace me, cold night, gray sky, streetlight
Miracle dissension, attention fading
Breathless, I'm a mess, kissless, I'm in distress

[Refrain]
I'm barely breathing

[Verse 2]
This crowning anguish, locked up nervous reflex
I've got to build up from the inside
A relapse, reflection, distorted repression
Smiling spitefully, longing for you to sew up my seams

[Refrain]
I'm barely breathing

[Bridge]
I've abandoned old identities
Skin I couldn't fit into, songs I couldn't write
My voice will fade into this starless night
[Verse 3]
I cannot get much blinder
I cannot kick myself much harder
Have I accepted this to torture myself?
You can't see me, have I invented you?

[Outro]
I'm barely breathing
You're so easy to believe in
And it's so depressing
That I'm always second guessing myself
