I'm playing cool and swell 
But I've been through all hell 
Trying to make a break, think 
And then forget about it 
Better if it rings out 
I'm acting through it all 
[Chorus]
Making up excuses 
Running from your eyes 
Drowning in your side 
Flooded in our blood 
Underneath your water 
Bound and gagged, I fight 
Gotta get undone 
Cause I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I just want to get out 
It's closing in somehow 
Pressed up against me now 
Get under my skin, take 
A knife and cut it out 
I just want to get it out 
The walls have closed somehow 
[Chorus]
Making up excuses 
Running from your eyes 
Drowning in your side 
Flooded in our blood 
Underneath your water 
Bound and gagged, I fight 
Gotta get undone 
Cause I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I just want to get out 
I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I don't want to break 
I just want to get out
Turning blue and no surprise 
I'm not breathing when I'm not inspired
[Chorus]
Making up excuses 
Running from your eyes 
Drowning in your side 
Flooded in our blood 
Underneath your water 
Bound and gagged, I fight 
Gotta get undone 
Cause I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I just want to get out 
I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I just want to get out 
I don't want to break 
I don't want to fake 
I don't want to break 
I just want to get out
