lyrics

Rocking back and forth, on my bed, on the floor, in my head
We're just going through the motions over again
Gasping once in a while for air
Grasping at these slippery strings for somewhere else, someone to hold me when

I don't feel like making sense right now
All I need to do is let myself break down
Can I give myself that?
It builds and it pushes out at my seams
Till it erupts in a torrent of shaking and screams
I don't know what it means

So I lie here looking up at my stars
I'm empty, there's nothing left inside my heart
Why can't I connect why the fuck is this so hard
It's like I've trained myself to shut out the world
When I need it most, when I want to be in love and be held
What did I do to make myself into this girl?

I can't write because I don't feel
I can't ask for help if it doesn't feel real
So I don't write, just in case I feel
That's too terrifying, with that I cannot deal
Now I'm writing and it suddenly seems real

I've lost the people I love
I've lost the person I love to be
I've lost my sense of responsibility
Now I've got to pick up the pieces and work on a better me
