tell me what to do when i get home all scratched and bruised i'm licking all my wounds anything to heal them soon and i think when i taste blood inside my mouth i feel alive i feel alive daylight, night time what's the difference now it all blurs into colors and words i can't pronounce i want to take a different route but i don't know how

do you find it so much harder than me to sit and watch me get eaten alive by the thoughts that wake me in my sleep on the nights that i feel everything but i swear that i’m well aware how i take curses and make them prayers we’ll pretend that i wasn’t scared if you want to i swear that i’m well aware how i take curses and make them prayers there’s a monster under the stairs i think it wants you i see it watch you every time you walk through now it’s black and you’re in love with broken teeth and every broken part of me when it’s dark i feel warm beneath the sheets i guess that’s why i couldn’t leave but i swear that i’m well aware how i take curses and make them prayers we’ll pretend that i wasn’t scared if you want to i swear that i’m well aware how i take curses and make them prayers there’s a monster under the stairs don’t let it haunt you because it’ll haunt you when i think that i’m under fire it feels like i’m underwater i know that i must look tired i hope i can meet your father it feels like i’m under fire i swear that i’m underwater why does everything make me tired i hope i can meet your father

please be the one that i saw in my dreams turn an open field to my favorite thing but i don’t know why the night’s so cold i was closing both eyes in the dark and i’m singing ‘la da da’ i don’t know where home is anymore so i’m singing ‘la da da’ the vultures have clawed my eyes and picked my bones i’m singing ‘la da da’ it feels like i’m made of blood and spit and rain i’m singing ‘la da da’ i promise i’ll find you the second i feel okay

go ahead and work with your hands form the calluses that harden them and start molding something new out of clay and in the dead of night it'll take a shape just don't call me indescribable because it makes me uncomfortable i just wanted for you to find your way without me could you do it without me because you want something i can't be so promise me you'll work on yourself don't waste all that love on someone else because there's always something new in the way sometimes i make a friend just to make mistakes so don't call me indescribable because it makes me uncomfortable i just wanted for you to find your way and i've always had this fear that i'm not real enough to be described so i'm learning to adapt to everything but i don't know if you want to fall in love with a costume i guess there's nothing to stop you because doesn't it all go back to the way it has to it always gives you a chance to run before it attacks you so show me what you made with your hands i treat the memory like contraband and keep it in a dark hidden cave but eventually it wants to see the day that’s why i'm welcoming a wandering eye it's the assurance that you'll be alright if i wake up one day and decide that the distance is more like a dimming light because everything is just a compromise between the out of touch and the stuck inside and i'm stuck inside but doesn't it all go back to the way it has to it always gave you a chance to run when it didn't have to

help me 03:35
favorite life is there something want, dear? making strides but i don't belong here help me help me help me help me help me help me why doesn't it help me? i've been having such a fucked up dream where you bite your tongue off sitting next to me and my body's frozen like a figurine and you say, "did you even notice that i began to bleed?" and it all goes out of focus and i hear you start to scream help me help me help me help me help me help me god, wont you help me? help me help me help me help me help me help me you promised you'd help me

t's crazy, isn't it? how much they call you crazy and it may be figurative it's just they called my mother crazy it just rolls off the tongue and you swear that you don't even mean it as an insult but you can go where you want and i can't it's got to the point where i'm not destroyed at least not quite like i used to be it hits me in waves and it spits in my face and i say, "thank you" and go back to sleep and you ask me how i always do that i said, "i guess i've always had the practice" but if i can only go and do that without placing my body on the mattress post-modern art kaiser hospital parking lot rose, corner shot on a tv that no one saw and you ask me how i always do that i said, "i guess i've always had the practice" but if i can only go and do that without placing my body on the mattress it would change my life it would change my life
