Keep Me Under

A bitter mind won’t keep my lungs full
A bitter mind won’t keep my limbs, keep my limbs whole
Nevermind reaping what I’ve sown
A bitter mind won’t make my days, make my days slow down

My days slow down

I watch them burn in my hand
I love the heat enough to not let go, I’ll hold too long
Until it burns in my hand
The weight of all my vices, laid out one by one, to keep me under

Wait - I tried to hide my past away
I put my demons in their place
But wound up being my own prey
Forever lying wide awake

Burn in my hand
I love the heat enough to not let go, I’ll too long
Until it burns in my hand
The weight of all my vices, laid out one by one, to keep me under

A bitter mind won’t keep my lungs full
A bitter mind won’t keep my limbs, keep my limbs whole
Nevermind reaping what I’ve sown
A bitter mind won’t make my days, make my days slow down
