Verse
When I now pass the hill
I can’t help but wonder
If this is the last time
I will return

It passes my window
As I journey back here
The place that I once loved
But now I fear

Pre-chorus
Something about the way this works
The deadlines and lack of support
Triggers my mind in the worst way
I wrongly thought I had contained
(But I’m left)

Chorus
Captive in myself, this stockholm syndrome
Bipolar at best, in the back and forth
Fall in love with half, and then the other
Slyly creeps back in, so it may take over

When they said where there’s fire there’s smoke
I suppose this must be what they meant
‘cause my eyesight slowly tunnels dark
And I’m left guessing where safety went,
(From all this mindfire I feel inside)

Verse
This is not the place where
All the problems started
But this is the place where
I’ve lost control

This should feel like home
But when the pressure came
I saw myself think of
The river again

Pre-chorus
Something about the way this works
The deadlines and lack of support
Triggers my mind in the worst way
I wrongly thought I had contained
(But I’m left)

Chorus
Captive in myself, this stockholm syndrome
Bipolar at best, in the back and forth
Fall in love with half, and then the other
Slyly creeps back in, so it may take over

When they said where there’s fire there’s smoke
I suppose this must be what they meant
‘cause my eyesight slowly tunnels dark
And I’m left guessing where safety went,
(From all this mindfire I feel inside)

Bridge
Thought I was there but this is slow
Though one day I know I’ll learn
Even destructive fire shall
Always run out of things to burn

Chorus
Captive in myself, this stockholm syndrome
Bipolar at best, in the back and forth
Fall in love with half, and then the other
Slyly creeps back in, so it may take over

When they said where there’s fire there’s smoke
I suppose this must be what they meant
‘cause my eyesight slowly tunnels dark
And I’m left guessing where safety went,
(From all this mindfire I feel inside)
