lyrics

Can’t write a song worth playing
Out loud
Just noise and static
Old clutter in the attic
Can’t form a sentence
without stammering
Incoherent words and phrases
Things unworthy of translation

I’m only on your mind
When I do something ugly
Like I’m defined
By everything you hate about me
Strapped to an anchor
By the force of my own gravity
I’m at the bottom like its
Somewhere that I want to be

Can’t love my family
Like I know that they love me
Detached and feeling
Hungry for touch
Maybe it is not enough
To love freely
To give your heart completely
To anyone who walks through your gaze
I think I’ll give mine away

I’m only on your mind
When I do something ugly
Like I’m defined
By everything you hate about me
Strapped to an anchor
By the force of my own gravity
I’m at the bottom like its
Somewhere that I want to be
