Catharsis by A Floor Below (Lyrics)

It’s cathartic they say
To write these words down on the page
But to see them written now
Only seems to fuel the rage
It’s cathartic they say
To see your space all rearranged
But to feel this feeling now
Only makes me feel deranged

This catharsis isn’t healing
Only fuels ancient feelings
I can’t feel the pain subsiding
Guess I’ll just continue hiding (oh, yeah)

It’s pathetic they say
To forget and run away
When it all comes crashing down
There’s no choice or other way
It’s pathetic they say
To feel your mind just go astray
But to feel this feeling now
Only makes me feel deranged

This catharsis isn’t healing
Only fuels ancient feelings
I can’t feel the pain subsiding
Guess I’ll just continue hiding (oh, yeah)

This catharsis isn’t healing
Only fuels ancient feelings
I can’t feel the pain subsiding
Guess I’ll just continue hiding
