lyrics

If my spine was made of bone
Id do things on my own
you were glad you were a piece of the puzzle
we had no photo for

Your concept of time is ticking in my throat
Timing each word to where the conversation chokes

i rested my time and grew spiteful of myself
fixing these things that were fixed from the let down
i cannot pretend that i felt like one of them
you weren't there and i thought it was my fault
Marrying my words to keep my skin away from old salts

How could i be so naive to the optimism that you feed
i wear my false sense of self over pooling skin
and misread health
i dive deeper to tear apart of me
and when i find nothing i dont feel anything

how could you put me here and think that i would thrive
(i cant let this go)
That all these ugly fears have been my only drive
(hands shake, body slows)
how could you call my name from the corner of the room
(i cant let this go)
watch as walls fall apart as i followed suite
(hands shake, body slows)

i rested my time and grew spiteful of myself
fixing these things that were fixed from the let down
i cannot pretend that i felt like one of them
you weren't there and i thought it was my fault
Marrying my words to keep my skin away from old salts

Somethings wrong
i want you to fix it
i wanna be strong
but you just don't listen

sometimes you gota take a walk through the forrest to see
that the grass was greener where you started out
and if my rhymes catch your eyes in a way thatdont reflect light
i hope you open a window and climb into the sunshine

Let your skin burn off and fall into nothing
if i fall to my knees can i still feel the earth
pulsating

Let my body decompose
where the flowers used to grow
