"Levels"

You wear your smiles upside down
And it's taking all my strength to push the corners up
It's a strange sort of love, but I keep it up
Oh the truth will come out when I'm numb
When I'm...

it will be worth it one day
it will be worth it

Keep the levels down
I hear you, I hear you
I'm here for you

You hide your bruises under your crown
but one day someone will see them

I push my scars to the sun
If it doesn't burn, you'll never learn
It will be worth it

Keep the levels down
I hear you, I hear you
I'm here for you
Keep the levels down
I hear you, I hear you
I'm here for you

Can you just give me some time?
Snakes crawl and free their venom inside
but what's that compared to this?
The skin looks fine from outside, but this hurt knows how to hide
Secret bruises from wear and tear
My mind grimaces because it knows they're there
I can feel it

Keep the levels down
I hear you, I hear you
I'm here for you
I'm here for you

We hold our smiles upside down
but it's okay you'll come around
