lyrics

These sleepless nights are taking a toll on me
Counting sheep doesn’t work anymore anymore
I’m sure the sunrise is nice when not involuntary

But right now it’s only a reminder that I can’t dream

I’m conflicted and confused
beaten and bruised
on the inside
The past has built my
Outer walls so strong
But with the framework all wrong
I can’t hide
That I’m starting to crumble

From the outside looking in I’m sure it looks like the lights are on
But the bulbs
They’re fucking shattered
I resort to the matches found in the top drawer
Hoping that that I strike a flame
So all you see is the glow of candles in the window frames

But candles start fires when lit too long

Just Once I'd like to say (I'm tired)
To my friends and family, that I'm okay (Of lying)
Without lying through my teeth (To Everyone)
I haven't told the truth
In weeks and weeks
