I've been picking myself apart from the start of this Replacing all the bad bits with something hopeful I've given up on retracing steps, you and I both know where they end In the hands of a laborer, a heart of a lover It's been forever since I've felt comfortable Head of restlessness, fist swinging consequences How did I ever let myself get away from me I swear I'm nothing like my father was You're nothing like you promised me you were maybe we're all just taking baby steps Mine are so much smaller than the others Was I cursed to live like this forever I was born with this need to believe that I mean something to somebody else When I'm constantly stretching and reaching for reasoning That I don't need but desperately want In the hands of a laborer, a heart of a lover It's been forever since I've felt comfortable Head of restlessness, fist swinging consequences How did I ever let myself get away from me Fragile skeleton Think skin to cover I've been building up these walls since forever In this head of restlessness, fist swinging consequences How did I ever let myself get away from me

Ask me about your eyes again I'm just drunk enough to answer these sort of questions I've been numbing the pain and killing my brain Trying to forget about this I'll curl up on the floor again Honestly I haven't slept in my own bed in months I often wake up with a sore back But I guess that's my own fault I'll play this off as casual But this past week of drinking and sitcoms has got to me No, I can't believe Whenever I am starting to feel anything It's a bad joke and the universe is tugging at my stings Let me get some sleep Before I say something else embarrassing She says "What about my eyes, that makes you feel the way you do tonight." I guess I've just been trapped with myself for too long What about last week When you were calling me at 2:30 in the morning I might as well be speaking in tongues because You'll never get it Forget it I'll play this off as casual Next time I see your face

This dirt under my feet feels just like home to me If I could I would walk for an eternity When my soles begin to bleed I will give up on everything Let the elements turn me into what I used to be I'll let my headphones drown out the nature I don't care to hear the happy melodies that the birds will sing I can't see the horizon But I can feel it's weight crushing down heavily I will sleep beneath these stars and trees If I am lucky the earth will swallow me - whole I am the black sheep a creep it's unnerving to think that maybe it's all I'll ever be If I were to speak metaphorically I'm a star imploding billions of light years away from anything The darkness and blackness Will encroach the territory I once lit while I was vaporizing Will anyone notice this empty void I have left behind I will sleep beneath these stars and trees If I am lucky the earth will swallow me - whole Become bones I want to feel the cold embrace of the soil, wash over my skin let me sink in and let me go Become bones This dirt is my home

Passed out to the silence of this old house The down tempo of the beating under my ribs Rip me open and see how the gears turn and spin I'll admit it I'm not quite used to this I find myself constantly reminiscing Unsure of where to begin. All that's left of me is odds and ends Do you remember on our old street we were 13 Selfless and innocent Reflections show a face that I don't know selfish and belligerent Claim to be a realist but the fact is I'm tired and never want to make a change Rearrange what others say to hear exactly what I need I'm passed out to the silence of this old house My thinned blood and numb limbs they seem to help You want to help me out, help me out I made this bed I guess this is where I'll lay I'll pray To nothing For something To change I'm passed out to the silence of this old house My thinned blood and numb limbs they seem to help You want to help me out, help me out I made this bed I guess this is where I'll lay Passed out to the silence of this old house The down tempo of the beating under my ribs Rip me open and see how the gears turn and spin How the gears turn and spin
