I can’t seem to dream because I can’t seem to sleep. These restless nights have been making me feel like I’m just a dead beat. The bags under my eyes weigh me down.
I’m alone but I guess that’s just how it goes. Now I’m breaking all my bones hoping the scars won’t show. I’ll dig a grave for the words I couldn't say and if there’s room I’ll find a spot where I can lay, because no other place has felt more like home.
The home I thought was my home was just temporary like the love I once had. And I know after all these years it shouldn't be that bad. And I know I shouldn't be this sad, but I've been so hung up on you that I hung up my hope and now I’m putting this rope around my neck hoping I can find that hope again.
If there’s one thing I learned over the years it’s that you can’t trust someone who hides behind a masquerade. So I stopped trusting myself and I broke all the mirrors in this home so I wouldn't have to look at the face of a liar.
I’m still searching for the hope I lost and the rope around my neck is starting to thin out. Maybe when it breaks I’ll start to break and then I can finally feel what it’s really like to be broken.
I’m a liar, and now my scars show, and there’s no room for me in the grave I dug. The home I thought was home wasn't mine. So I’ll hang like an apple from a tree and fall when the leaves aren't green. I guess this is just how it has to be, I’ll die like the leaves in the winter hoping next season won’t make me so bitter.
