are you ashamed of me or did you buy what i'm selling

the days blur together

you toiled on a bridge to cross the gap inside but i couldn't help you build it and i don't know why no, i couldn't help you build it but God knows you tried

you're the culprit so don't blame me when i'm gone and you have naught when you're hollowed out and empty

you were never the one to suffer

stacking layers like sediment each one adding weight and compression

isn't this what you wanted time sure feels like it's running out

i'm haunted by your tenderness you gave me a soft place to land you held up a mirror and showed me what i've been hiding from for years what that just sleight of hand?

it won't last you long it'll dissappear

oh, my precious child, how lucky you are handed down a shield for your tender parts

i'm nobody's daughter i'm nobody's daughter

pain is weak but it spreads anyway, anyway

oh, i crave the freedom of relief (only one way out, the only way is through)

oh, the path of least resistance foolish misinterpretation

climb ye higher, and higher, and higher theres no room for all the hearts that will not stay

stacking layers like sediment each one adding weight and compression and i am tired of forming a cliff face inside of my chest now my ribs ache from carrying it around

i will love you like the ashes in my cigarette box

my wild heart is burined underneath (only one way out, the only way is through)

if love is just a chemical reaction is there a pill to take? something to quell this ache?

you held up a mirror and showed me what i've been hiding from all these years whats that just slieght of hand?
