My mother once told me,
“less is more”
and man I know, I can be too much sometimes
but I don’t even want this, anymore
but my heart just needs something to hurt for
And so I dig
A grave for reaction
so I know that I’m still here
My father once picked me up and said,
“just walk it off”
but my feet are all twisted and, I don’t know which way to step
and i’ve been missing the ground i’ve lost
where I’ve been’s written on my face and dear,
you don’t know the cost
And so I dig
A grave for reaction
so I know that I’m still here
Cause most days I’m just the
ghost of a daydream
caught on the wrong side of fear
I’m nothing but the ghost of a daydream
You’re nothing but the afterthought of a nightmare
We don’t know too much about sound sleeps
and I swear, I swear, I swear, we were never here
