lyrics

Theres a divide between the words I mean to say
(My nails are growing, they’re long again)
That’s feeding the time it takes to feel how much they weigh
(They’re sinking into all my friends)

There have been times I’ve thought of being someone else
(They’re carved into the roof of my mouth)
But I only try for better versions of myself
(A sharpened muscle, pointed out)

I can be shitty
I know, that’s on me
I won’t try to hide
I’ll own my own mind

Don’t let the ruins dim
Shine a light on them
Every stone unturned
Holds a lesson learned
