Surrounded by my isolation
The need to act and grief from lack
I was sad to say I was Impatient
The only joy here was platted and cracked.
Wasted my days
I had withered away.
(wow I never felt happy)
Succumbed to the numbness
I'd all but decayed
(it was the rain that had shaped me)
But now I can’t help but feel rusted.
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
Breathing the air again.
I feel similar to you
Lonely we are
You don’t seem it
Well you should see me
I was the problem I clung to
And ever since it came out you said you
Could see the clouds turn pink in August.
I was every bit as nervous as you were
No idea why I was freezing till it was too late
Yeah it was too late
Too cold
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
breathing the air again
I feel similar
Didn’t know you saw me so bright
But to be honest might not make it through the night
If you could leave me the light on
I would appreciate if you could keep the light on
Happy to keep your head down
Scared to let the gold beneath your teeth shine out
I promise you’ll feel better
Breathing the air again
Save your lies
You’ll seem civilized.
