lyrics

Curse the sky, hope to die a familiar way. Keep the same me in mind, I'll keep you away. I'm biding my time swallowing dust. Turning my mind inside out with my guts full of mud. Choking on what shouldn't be mine. Abused and broken, I sit and I pine.
Praise the floorboards that fill the gaps in our steps, they're closer to home than I'd like to admit. You know where they shift, you know where they creak. From the door to the bed, I was never asleep. This is just confirmation of the lives we've been trapped in by our own calloused hands and expectations. Giving into shortcomings that were never our own. In anything but loss and void transmissions.
" I'm sorry" is trite it's the phrase of my life and I'm sorry to say but it's just getting worse.
