I Tried Not To Die

Today
i lay
my head on the dirt
sounds
of a city
are not swimming in my mind
grind
to a hault
it's nobody's fault but my own
runnin
from a monster
that's always a step behind

trying to hold it together (2x)

mourners
they trample
all over my bed
birds
are flying
they're perched on the top of my head
words
like a shotgun
can be painful at times
and i
was tired
of trying not to die

and still i can hold it together (2x)
