For the Fire - What I Want To See

I still can't quite accept
All of the consequence
I'm earning from the actions that I'm learning to pursue
And without confidence
I assert dominance
In every conversation just to try and forget you

And I don't wanna pretend anymore
But I don't want to face what I choose to ignore
And I don't wanna pretend anymore
But you're giving me no other choice

So turn the lights on
And pull me out of my head
So that I'm face to face with everything
I wish I never did
Turn the lights on
And nothing matters to me
'Cause it's not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see
It's not what I wanted to see
Not what I want to see

I still can't quite accept
My own irrelevance
I've spent my life fighting
Just to mean something to you
And in my self detest
My insignificance
Is screaming that I'm worthless
And there's nothing I can do

And I don't wanna pretend anymore
But I don't wanna waste my mind waging this war
I don't wanna pretend anymore
Won't you give me another choice?

I don't feel calm in my own skin
Don't know how I let this happen
Sinking deeper into this pit
I don't know why I welcome it

I've been down here for so long
I'm accustomed to both right and wrong
I don't care to learn the difference
I don't know why I welcome this
