This roller coaster
Is on auto shutdown
And every single part
A quick collapse
This sunny afternoon
Rosy bright and sweet
Sinking stinking
Decomposing down
I'm tied to the track
And there's a train a-coming
And you can save me
But you won't even try
Hands bound
Face to the ground
And you could save me
But you won't even try
you won’t even try
Auto shutdown
When the screen goes black
No more apps
For that
The surreal sun
Felt so clean
But then it was gone
Like that
Chorus
You turn away
So easily
Like you've nothing
Nothing left to lose
And shut me out
So totally
Exhaustedly
I keep the ruse
Chorus
How would it not hurt?
Completely powerless,
I fold my paper heart
How do you shut me out?
Cowardice will tear
Tear me apart
Seems like you don't care
When I open up to you
Then everything's laid bare
You shut me down
Chorus
you won’t even begin to try
you won’t even lift a finger…
I’m on auto shutdown…
