i'm tearing at the seams
nothing seems-
real anymore. i'm going numb
i can't stop thinking about your tongue-
in my mouth and all i want to do
is run away from everyone, from the few-
that love me the most.
i've become a ghost
my paper thin
skin
is ripping
i'm tripping-
on my mistakes and regrets
lying to myself saying it's for the best
i want to go home
i say while i'm sitting at home
i want to go home
i want to go home
i want to go home

this is excruciating
it's hard differentiating-
between those who use you
and those who love you tru-
ly
the weight on my chest makes it hard to breathe
your arms around me is all i need
to hold the pieces of me together
we should be together
we should be together forever
i need to go
i need to go

i need you to know
i can't take this anymore
i don't want to be a *****
i'm done
i want to run
i'm so scared
my skin's been bared
and i'm screaming
forgive me for breathing
forgive me for polluting your world
i'm so hurt
i miss you it hurts
my skin itches and burns
i wonder
i ponder
when i started falling
and when this hollowing-
pain begun in my empty heart
i want to go back to the start
i'm done with tearing my heart-
apart
i'm done with handing out bits of me
hoping they'll accept me for me
and then being met with
so much ****
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
i'm so so sor-
ry. i'll go away now. i won't hurt you anymore.
// cause I've done some things that I can't speak & i've tried to wash you away but you just won't leave //
