Giants Lyrics

[00:16.82] Take a hit of anything
[00:20.17] To escape it all, I'm suffocating
[00:24.21] A sharpened blade of reality
[00:28.16] Sometimes I wanna hurt me
[00:32.19] I know it's hard to hear, but I'm
[00:36.09] Waiting for the new year
[00:38.47] Don't wanna waste my life chasing white
[00:41.50] Try to swim towards the light
[00:47.03] Coming up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
[00:51.01] I thought I'd learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
[00:54.31] Sleeping with giants, I'm tiptoeing quietly
[00:58.28] Feeling it all, it's sobriety
[01:02.10] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:03.45] Got so tired of feeling numb
[01:06.26] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[01:07.15] Well, take a look what I've become
[01:09.45] Sleeping with giants, I'm tiptoeing quietly
[01:13.59] Feelin' it all, it's sobriety
[01:18.12] I wanna make you proud of me
[01:22.12] But slowly, I am killing me
[01:25.53] Playing with chemistry
[01:29.78] Floating to the ceiling
[01:32.73] Always rock 'n' roll 'til you die, you know, you been flying
[01:37.90] Now I'm shaking at night, sweating the sheets out
[01:41.42] Grinding my teeth out
[01:43.13] But still the world will glamorize it all
[01:48.58] Coming up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
[01:52.37] I thought I'd learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
[01:55.75] Sleeping with giants, I'm tiptoeing quietly
[01:59.69] Feeling it all, it's sobriety
[02:03.63] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[02:04.97] Got so tired of feeling numb
[02:07.36] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[02:08.65] Well, take a look what I've become
[02:11.14] Sleeping with giants, I'm tiptoeing quietly
[02:15.25] Feeling it all, it's sobriety
[02:20.15] If I could leave one thing for you
[02:24.31] It's exactly what not to do
[02:29.47] I'm so proud of you
[02:34.17]
[02:37.47] Take a look what I've become
[02:44.51] Oh, take a look what I-
[02:48.76]
[02:51.58] Coming up for air in the deepest of the deep end
[02:55.55] I thought I'd learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
[02:59.21] Sleeping with giants, I'm tiptoeing quietly
[03:02.83] Feeling it all, it's sobriety
[03:06.81] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[03:08.47] Got so tired of feeling numb
[03:10.79] La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[03:11.89] Well, take a look what I've become
[03:14.69] Sleeping with giants, I'm tiptoeing quietly
[03:18.22] Feeling it all, it's sobriety
[03:20.44]
