Mystery Jets Watching Yourself Slowly Disappear Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We're born and we're raised
To stand up tall and straight
But then torn and reshaped
By other people's gaze

Oh to be a real man
Hangs heavy in your hands
But you keep quiet and do the best you can
To prove it to yourself and everyone else
When it seems like the only direction is down

[Verse 2]
No shelter from the shame
So you sit and drink away the pain
One to which you cannot place a name
So you shoulder all the blame, again and again

Unto yourself, this hollow shell
This cold and wicked, cruel and wretched hell
That you found but don't make a sound
Now it seems like the only direction is down

[Chorus]
Hey, you up on the edge
Where the wild waves are beckoning
The wind whips around your head
But the silence is deafening If you call out, if you call out
If you call out, we'll be here
When you can't help, when you can't help
When you can't help feeling weird
Watching yourself slowly disappear
When you can't help feeling
You're watching yourself slowly disappear

[Chorus]
Hey, you up on the edge
Where the wild waves are beckoning
The wind whips around your head
But the silence is deafening
If you call out, if you call out
If you call out, we'll be here
When you can't help, when you can't help
When you can't help feeling weird
Watching yourself slowly disappear
Watching yourself slowly disappear
When you can't help feeling
You're watching yourself, watching yourself
Watching yourself slowly disappear
