And as my body relives everything I've put it through
I swallow chords like pain killers
They used to work the same anyways
I see the marks of sleep filled nights I desperately search for yet again
But my regrets and my self loathing keep me awake here still
My bones need shaken up
But it'll take a bit more time than I have to spare
I keep my body still, my eyes unmoved
Fixated on thin air
It's where I'm most comfortable
Conformity's never felt so clean
I'm a walking afterthought
Brushed off the shoulders of the good days I've never seen
I stamp these cigarettes into the gutters of summer's eve
Invade my mind with scavenged hands planning a life for me
I think of metaphors but lose my self at the very start
My record player helps me sleep, and it's about the best I've got
So when these words announce themselves
Dressed tight in burning chords
I'll dress myself with dirt and soot
Take my place beneath the floor boards
It's where I'm most comfortable
Conformity's never felt so forced
Setting fires was a game until I felt the heat's remorse
My hearts a souvenir
Replace my eyes with your hands
I'm swelling up
I'm drowning in this body bag
