Here the moisture peels the paint off the wall
and the air suffocates you with every deep breath in
it makes your bones stick to the flesh you’re soaked in
and the people peel off the opinions
so you keep your mouth shut, that way you’re never left out of the race
and you die a little bit inside with every word you keep in
and they pile in the back of your throat
you hold back how you really feel
because you’ve been shot down far too many times to speak
you just bite the bullet and feel the rage swimming
through the threads of a bracelet
you got given by a dear friend that promised till the end
it will untangle in time
cause the moon quickly disappeared behind the hills
and so did she, so did she

You will forget every single word that slipped off the tip of my tongue
and I will remember every word I kept a hold of
all those sleepless nights where the moon didn’t glow
and the sun never rose
I drew the blinds because I had nothing left to hide behind

This time last year I had no idea I’d be here
with my feelings all mixed up and thrown around
and my head all clouded with so much doubt
but things have changed, I no longer scream your name
in between the sheets that mark my grave
and I no longer need you by my side
through all the fumbled nights
I spend spilling out words onto paper
you no longer consume my dreams
and take over my thoughts
the ghost of you is finally gone from the corner of my room
I let my grip loosen and lost you in the wind

You will forget every single word that slipped off the tip of my tongue
and I will remember every word I kept a hold of
all those sleepless nights where the moon didn’t glow
and the sun never rose
I drew the blinds because I had nothing left to hide behind

but if you really cared you would’ve noticed the tell tale signs
if you really cared you would’ve noticed the sleepless nights
if you really cared you wouldn’t have gotten lost in the first place
just draw the blinds cause you’ve got no one left to hide behind
