Sick from the blood that I keep swallowing
If I asked nicely would you hollow me
Out?
Build me a house
Just to tear it down again
Who are these people that I'm following?
Personalities I am borrowing,
How
Do I sing about
Things that break me down again?
It's not as simple as I would have liked
Raising thoughts that kill my appetite
Letting whispers tuck me in at night
With their vexing lullaby
I'm scared to think they could be listening
It comes alive once I have written it
Down
I can't make a sound
'Cause that could make it real again
I don't know how to keep the panic in
The paranoia underneath my skin,
Please?
Make sure no one sees
Pretend that I will heal again
It's not as simple as it used to be
Burning sin out of my memory
Hold my breath until I count to three
Make a soothing melody
