lyrics

I am growing older and pulling back on all the thickness that skin once retained. Stolen youth is fleeting. A sacrificial life held in harms way. I’ve had the needs, the means, and the motives to reclaim, but never the backbone or bravery. Aggression fills the lines and anger follows the pattern. The miracles rust and my dreams lose balance. Some mistakes never leave you. Hanging shadows cover the floods. I can’t trust the forming faces. Locking gaze. Collecting dust. A life worth living low. I saw my own reflection. Cowardice. I left that place but can’t escape the feeling. I can hear voices. Drawing near. Spitting hatred. Digging holes. And every waste of flesh that I’ve ever etched as kin are coming closer. Drawing near. Guard the door for dearest life. Interrupting right between the teeth. Was this all you thought I deserved? Gain nothing. Stay here.
