lyrics

If my spine was made of bone,
I’d 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 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 don’t 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 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 gotta take a walk through the forest to see that the grass is greener where you started out,
and if my rhymes catch your eyes in a way that don’t 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.
