You said enough

To seal me off

I'm piling up

The negatives approaching in

When you're out on your own inside

Dancing in the dead of night

Will you honor your offer like

I would have honored the way you breathe me in?

You never fail to find the flaws in me

You're right

No one said I'd sing songs of solace and so what?

I'm better off with less in front of me

So long as I can keep the past inside this cage for now

The chemicals releasing

These chemicals don't fucking release me now

And it's excessive how

I keep you above them all

As if the rest were all

Lesser versions, bound to flaw

Lesser words have entered thoughts

Call me an ingrate

I could be the worst of all

I could be dead weight

You never fail to find the flaws in me

You're right

No one said I'd sing songs of solace and so what?

I'm better off with less in front of me

So long as I can keep the past inside this cage for now

For now I wonder without you beneath my wing

I wear your weathered emotions within me

Bring every opposed entry, exit across the way

For now, my friends don't believe me, that I'm okay

My friends don't believe me, that I'm okay

My friends don't believe me, that I'm okay

My friends don't believe me, that I'm okay

I don't believe myself

But I blame myself

The chemicals release

I blame myself for this

I'll blame myself again

I'll wipe you out of my memories

Your face, I can't forget or flee

You follow me

Your haunting gaze

It tears at the fabric of my being

Happiness, I won't attain at all

I burned my bridges as if I intended their fall
