lyrics

There are only a few things that keep me tethered to the ground
I was under the surface breaking
This was a big black sea
I couldn't breathe for months
Coming home reminded me of what it was like not to be afraid
The ropes broke
Convinced it was death I cracked open my chest in search of a song
Searched for hours between the marrow and the bones
Tried to find some shred of me I'd forgotten
Molded myself
A laughable cracked version
It didn't work
So I let go

I never really was anything at all

I romanticize the present
Because that's the one thing I can change
I hope you get to see this infront of you
Because it means I'm doing ok
But when this becomes a ghost of who I was
A message thrown forward
A stone through time
Can I hope it's at least a catalyst for change?

Because this all I have to give
This is all I have to give
And this is the only thing that makes me feel like I exist

I'm a sweat lodged racket of sound
I come down to nothing when the day is done
I'm piling words onto three chords
Hoping I'm not doing this wrong
Can I do this wrong?
I'm afraid I'm getting to close to the truth of me
I still call myself kid
Pretty soon I'll be 23
And I'm still waking up scared
I'm still eking out each day
Calling out the friends who left me
Knowing that the door swings both ways
This is all I have to give
This is the only thing that makes me feel like I exist
Pour my art over my flaws
