"lines" november 13, 2023 (TW: self harm)
verse 1
twelve straight lines,
i close the blinds.
hide it all away,
i live another day,
unfortunately.
verse 2
now there's twenty one.
a day has turned to months.
how do i say enough?
i won't pull them up,
please just trust me.
chorus
i didn't mean to go this far.
a stab wound to the heart
on my covered arm.
i don't want to leave
sometimes at least, i think.
it's a false alarm.
verse 3
a coping strategy,
baggage at it's peak.
i swear i didn't want it.
twelve turned to a hundred.
can't live like this now.
chorus
i didn't mean to go this far.
a stab wound to the heart
on my covered arm.
i don't want to leave
sometimes at least, i think.
it's a false alarm.
bridge
i only meant to do it once,
then it turned into a sometimes thing.
sometimes frequented my months,
then it turned into an always thing.
is it a false alarm
if it goes too far?
my beating heart
stops after i run out of arms.
chorus
i didn't mean to go this far.
a stab wound to the heart
on my covered arm.
i don't want to leave
sometimes at least, i think.
it's a false alarm.
outro
is it a false alarm
if it goes too far?
my beating heart
stops.
