lyrics

Was is the bleed of my edges
That you couldn’t hold in
Or the crumbling bones
Hidden under my skin
Was it the safety of my patience
That made you come undone?

Was it my soft outline that
Made yours rough
Or my endlessness that
Wasn’t enough
Was I a beginning
You could never see?

Oh I wish you’d have told me

Did you point and laugh
At my naked back
At my reflection in your mirror
That’s old and cracked
Or was it just time
That you proved me right?

Is it the weight of the earth
From my grave that you dig
Did you tighten your grip
Just to lower me in
Was it the storm that I lack
That made you lose your grasp?

Oh I’m too afraid to ask

Did my tune that you hummed turn to
Dust on your tongue
And if I’d been smaller
Would you have ever bothered?

If id been heavy enough
To stop your drifting off
Would you still have burnt to ash
And left me in your collapse?

Was claiming rights to the story your
Idea of glory
If you’d believed your own words
How much worse would this hurt?

Did the ground under your feet become
Black boundless sea
Were the sharks still circling
When you woke up from your dream?
