This Depth Is Astounding

I wear the chain
around my neck you gave me
when we still had a thing
before we didn\'t
if it was long enough I swear
I\'d fucking hang myself
but it isn\'t

lately I can\'t concentrate
the things I know are wrong
seem right
my head\'s always pounding
the singularity pulls
I fall a little bit faster
this depth is astounding

I\'ll sit by and play pretend
until I screw it up again
and pray for the end
remember like I used to
this has come to be too much
just lying here without your touch
with no one to lie to
