This stone floor breathes beneath my feet,
it's the chill remembered when I cleaned it on my knees
The feeling when you screamed and said be still
Be still, I never was, and I'll never be
These holes are filling up these walls, patched since I first left
Empty still it feels, the holes I think were kept
Buried between your fingers, caked underneath your nails
The scent of fresh air lingers, but fails to leave a trail
It was always such a goddamn tragedy to you.
Blues were overused, and meant for the weak,
And I was weak,
But am I weak? Oh I am weak
So what's changed since I first left?
I still pretend that I'm asleep
I'm still faking all my dreams
And I still burn what I can't keep
And it always feels the same when i'm coming home
I'm not coming home
But I still long for what I had,
Miss the truth of staying mad
Honesty always comes better when your angry
Honestly, it always makes it through to me
It's the feeling I miss about sleeping alone
And I'm always alone
It was always such a goddamn tragedy to you
Blues were overused, and meant for the weak
And I was weak
And I am weak
I hear our kitchen crashing
"Did you burn down the woods again?"
God would you please stop asking me
I swear it hasn't changed since then
I'm still trying to disappear in my sleep
I swear I haven't changed since then
