burden you

i know this song sounds redundant
i didn’t know where to start
ever heavy eyelids
a migraine of the heart
i could have spoken to anyone
but i didn’t want to burden them
you say i give myself too much hatred
but i know if you were me you wouldn’t want to stay
because i don’t
know
why
i’m unable
to
cry
lyrics:
maybe things would have been different
if opportunities didn’t turn to fears
you say I give myself too much shit
after all these things tend to end in tears
because i don’t
know
why
i’m unable
to
cry
i wanted you
to
know
i never want
to burden
you

hello room, i feel
we’ve gotten closer as of late
i’ve memorised each
and every creak the floorboards make
but I can’t help but wish that i was
anywhere but here
maybe drinking in the park
the way we did last year
my guitar, I see
that you’ve indented my fingertips
these somber chords reflect
akin to a mirror under a cantrip
i hope someday that we can once more
lie under that tree
needles, ink and ethanol wipes
gently pierce my skin
now I cannot seem to
shake this feeling off
reconcile
lie around and
stare at the walls for a while
i am not worthless
senseless
or careless
i’m simply bored witless
and I can sit and tell you
all the memories we’ll make
but if I’m honest I just don’t know
how long this is gonna take
so until then I’ll be writing novels in my mind
of the stupid things we’ll do
when all this shit passes us by
now I cannot seem to
shake this feeling off
reconcile
lie around and
stare at the walls for a while
i am not worthless
senseless
or careless
i’m simply bored witless

welcome to my humble abode
we can buy vodka, sit at the end of the garden
but the smoke is trailing from my eyes now
burning out
but that doesn’t stop me wanting to
laugh with you again
now you make me
feel so sick
now i hide
from your grip

im having trouble tryna
sleep tonight
i keep shivering in bed with
thoughts of frights
i wanna close my eyes, i'm begging on my knees
and every time i do, you die in my dreams
calluses and papercuts and
the stench of cigarettes
waking up at 4am in a
cold sweat
i can’t remember the first time
this will not be the last time
every time i sleep, you die in my dreams
didnt wanna be the one
to realise
while im stumbling round
bleeding from my eyes
and now i
can’t remember the first time
this will not be the last time x2
every time i sleep, you die in my dreams

ive got an aching spine
and skull
im aware that its all
on me
i know im not anyone
but me
im still not quite so sure
if ill make peace with it
[solo]
still beached like a whale
a snail without a shell
i know im not anyone
but me
still not quite so sure
if ill make peace with it
if ill make peace with it

when this is over
03:40
|

|
i've spent a little while mulling over things
quietly
the frosty window glistens oh so solemnly
undoubtedly
i can’t help but notice that
while we’re apart
the world outside only ever seems to darken
not brighten
and when the lamps are on but the windows
never open
i can’t help but figure that
while we’re apart
there’ll be more days
when this is over
one day it’ll all be over
and when it is you know i'll be first in line
to breathe again
bored of waiting inside
wasting what is left of my life
let me outside
outside

i know we couldn’t see
quite at eye level
but you know
how much you mean to me
flipped through old paper planes
tore a couple of pages out
stuck photos on the wall
sinking
feeling
locked up deep within my chest
and it’s eating me alive
now I’m speechless
with a stone trapped in my throat
as I try to mumble out
how I feel
i love you
i don’t wanna overimpose
do I really belong here
who knows
when will we meet again
when will we once more
poison ourselves and sing
daylight in the sun
sinking
feeling
locked up deep within my chest
and it’s eating me alive
now I’m speechless
with a stone trapped in my throat
as I try to mumble out
how I feel
i love you
