jagged breathing
because it hurts
watch you all feeding
the blood coming out in squirts
in, out, in, out, clutch my sides
a hole that takes up my whole torso
the raw edges burning in need
look closely, you can see my heart slow
i've soaked my clothes with the bleed
in, out, in, out, clutch my sides
dear god, my ribs are pulling apart
i can't breathe, i can't ******* breathe
my lungs, oh my god, my heart
i'm beginning to seethe
in, out, in, out, clutch my sides
i'm holding my sides together
my precious arms keeping me whole
i'm becoming light as a feather
but i can't hold together my soul
in, out, in, out, clutch my sides
please, i just need to be held
my arms are tired, keep me one
please, i just want to be quelled
i've really become undone
in, out, in, out, clutch my sides
people are the brightest when in love
i just want to be in love
that's where i want to be when push comes to shove
why can't you just love me?
in, out, in, out, clutch my sides
this hole won't seem to go away
it consumes me all day, every day
hold me, i'm beginning to sway
"love me." is all i have to say
