Memories of you that never leave
stuck in my mind
like these rhymes
that i write
and these songs
that i sing

Don't leave
you left
and i can't breathe

I yell out your name
when i'm dreaming
but you're never there
when i'm awake

Can't seem to shake these
memories
Can't seem to take these
memories

Running in loops
In playback circles

Crying, sobbing
reaching out for you
but no one's there

Misery

Misery rotting inside my bones
misery knotting internally

Fully awake but no longer alive
the grief has taken me
and buried my eyes

I can't see anymore
I can't breathe
you left
and it's killing me
you're gone
I might see you in a dream
but it's not the same
because I can't touch
your face
or feel your pain
or tell you it will
be okay

It's doomed
and it's over
and i don't know how
we're staying sober

I don't know how
we continue to breathe
without each other
without our lovers

your love is beckoning me
your soul is caressing me
you're too far away
you're never here
when I awake
I call out your name
but you're not listening
it was just a dream
it was just a dream
