I feel strangled.
I feel torn into insufficient amounts of two.
Is this a sign of what I'm made of,
Or how I allow myself to be treated?
Grab the wrists, pull away.
I don't want to die today, so I won't.
I can't believe this is me,
Well you're drowning me with my own hate, so I
Do you feel they're laughing at you through the TV? I know I do.
Do you wonder how they get away with that shit they say?
I was the glue that held us together.
I'll be that fucking stitch forever.
When you feel like there's nothing left inside of you
Just remember I wanted something I could hold onto
Are the mental restraints a good replacement for me?
It's such a pretty sound, ear to the ground.

    General Comment:yeah, its basically about how he feels betrayed by everything and everyone
    i especially love the last part
    'I was the glue that held us together,
    I'll be that fucking stitch forever.
    When you feel like there's nothing left inside of you
    Just remember I wanted something I can hold onto'
    i relate it to my own experiences when you get really attached to someone, and then you feel as if theyve completely forgot you. he hopes that they realize that they made a bad decision, and he hopes theyll realize that he always cared.

    General Comment:it's good, but i really think 13 is their masterpiece.

    i think the song is pretty self-explanatory. he's feeling like shit and wonders if he feels that way becuz he does or lets himself. a friend of his is using that against him so it's hard for him to trust anyone. he mentions how they wouldn't be friends so many times before if it wasn't for himself and it'll always be that way and tells that friend when he feels the same way just remember i wanted something to hold onto so i wouldn't lose my grip.
