lyrics

I won’t go to the doctor
Because when I get help
I won’t be able to write
Any more albums about killing myself

I’ll cry myself to sleep tonight
With shallow breaths
Maybe I’ll miss waking up
Feeling like I never slept

Sad words
Stolen melodies
Basic chords
No grasp on reality

I miss your smoke in my lungs
I miss the rain on foggy windows
I’ve been letting go for so long
It feels like I gave up years ago

The rain on the rooftops helps me sleep
When I’m thinking too much about everything
But we’ve been in a drought for years so
I haven’t dreamt of anything

Except, sad words
Stolen melodies
Basic chords
Daydreams of fatalities

There are so many beautiful people
And maybe someday I
I could be one of them
But that would be the day that I die

I feel like I have lied to
Every person that I’ve ever known
It feels like even if I die in your arms
I would still be dying alone

With my, sad words
Stolen melodies
Basic chords
And my own mortality
