My lungs are trying to climb out of my chest
I can't get high, the smoke poisons me worse than memories
I wipe away the red that sputters out of my mouth, hoping I wake up in the morning
I hope she is at the party, I hope I say a funny joke, I hope I'm not swallowed by silences
I think it is guilt that is trying to pound it's way through my skull, at least I hope it's guilt, anything else would be your fault, and we can't have that
The coldness of that last meal still leaves me shivering, and I can't warm up
Id rather ***** up a lung then hear your voice right now, so please don't call me
My eyes are heavy but I don't wanna sleep alone, come here and sleep on my chest, we can count sheep in the dark.
