The breeze screams my name
Shame persists, I’m all of it
Sickened and bitter
Broken//
Artificial
Dig deep, fractured glass
Dissect and scavenge
I found a way back.
The clocks been broken,
But it won’t stop spinning
I’m suffocating underneath your weight.
The silence rings
Brings out the catastrophe
Howls in my head
Exhausted, restless
I can’t seem to leave.
Feed me white noise
& sedatives
I just want to forget.
Set my soul to sea
I haven’t yet felt freedom
I was born with broken wings.
Blank faces have chewed
On my hardened flesh
I have nothing left
But the salt around me.
I long for that darkness.

Exhausted, restless
I can’t seem to leave.
Feed me white noise

Set my soul to sea
I haven’t yet felt freedom
I was born with broken wings.
Blank faces have chewed
On my hardened flesh
I have nothing left
But the salt around me.
I long for that darkness.
