Cul-de-Sac

So your pain won't just wash away
Well what did you expect?
You scrubbed it 'til you bled
Now your skin is raw and it starts to itch
So you reach to scratch it but it's such a bitch
So you shut me out and you locked the doors
Well guess what? I'm not knocking anymore
So your insecurities won't just fade away
Well what did you want?
Did you think that things would change?
Now your frown is fresh and your phone is dry
And you reach to check it, but you're still too high
So you go to bed and turn off the lights
Doesn't it feel wrong not to say goodnight?
I'm trying, are you?
I'm dying, are you too?
So your wants won't just walk away
Well what did you think?
We've circled every block
Now your feet are sore and your heart is too
And you think that's better, maybe better for you
But you cast me off, then you pull me back
I'm not a two-way street, I'm a cul-de-sac
I'm trying, are you?
I'm dying, are you too?
I'm pining for you
You're whining, nothing new
I'm aching for two
You're breaking, aren't you?

Drowning

I can barely see
Your naked shape
It's too dark for me
My face is flushed
Red from the sun
You call me in
But I am not done
I am not
I'd hold you down
If I had the strength
But you'd pull me up
And drag my flailing body onto the bank
I cannot keep
My own two feet
From slipping in the creek
Darkness surrounding
And I am drowning
I'm not afraid
To bare my arms
You understand that when I am out here
I'm immune to harm
To harm
To harm
To harm

Your House

I disconnect myself from you
It is just something that I do
When I feel like I am losing my mind
It's not a thing I can explain
It has just been deeply ingrained inside my bones
But now they're starting to grind
My fingertips are tearing off
And I just cannot seem to stop myself
From picking at the places where you've touched
But you should know just how I get
Yeah, you should know it the best
My calloused hands can only take so much
And I can't stand it
I can't stand to choose
I can't command it
And I can't stand to lose
I'm lower than I've ever been
But now the high is creeping in
It brings a distance that I desperately call
How did I get so unaware
I do not know and I do not care
But way up here it's so much further down to fall
And I can't stand it
I can't stand to choose
I can't command it
With all I stand to lose
I wouldn't have tried it
I wouldn't have twisted your arm so tight
I couldn't decide it
You've treated me right
I wouldn't have tried it, no I shouldn't have (I can't stand it)
I wouldn't have twisted your arm so tight (I can't stand to choose)
I couldn't decide it, but I wouldn't have (I can't command it)
Treated you right (And I can't stand to lose)
