lyrics

Ill cut everything off of my tongue
If it does not serve you in some form or fashion
My hands are aching from holding on so tight
To any semblance of selfless life

I’m a half measure,
Broken glass beneath your feet
Selfishness seeps freely from the seams of everything I’ve seen

Your love has grown cold
And now there’s nothing left
But ash and dust
The precedent you set
This poison rots my lungs out
Of my chest

A home for all your sorrows
A window to watch you wallow
A light in the dark for you

I’m home to all your sorrows
Im a garden for all your flowers
Safer than the halls you hallowed
Sunlight never changed my shadow

Nothing can pass through these paper thin walls
Nothing I haven’t heard before
I caught myself at the end of rope
Nothing but callouses and empty hope

I’m home to all your sorrows
Im a garden for all your flowers
Safer than the halls you hallowed
Sunlight never changed my shadow

I will lose myself amid the hate
And I will be better for it
My home is a candle, dimly lit

Please relieve me
Of the horrors I see in myself
I’m too hard hearted
Too self doubting
How careless am I
To think an eye for an eye is some form of justice
It’s time to give up what I’ve trusted
No longer does “misguided” carry any weight
No longer can I close my eyes and claim that I’m afraid
Of this outcome that only I can claim
I’m done reveling in the same jaded shame
