lyrics

Having a stroke didn't hurt me
Looking up and seeing myself alone is what hurt me
I have to force the words off my tongue because I can't say what's on my mind in the moment
A mind that goes a million miles a minute but can only feel one thing
Desensitize pain sensitize sorrow

You get so tired of feeling nothing, so you reach into shallow waters, afraid to dive too deep
At least you've grasped onto something

What I need is out of reach so I just grasp the air
My nails are long, I'm starting to bleed
Take this oxygen away from me
Depressive state of mind is what kills
When you you are week having nothing might help
Desensitize pain sensitize sorrow
I tried time and time again to feel love
I couldn't so I just made up lust

You get so tired of feeling nothing, so you reach into shallow waters, afraid to dive too deep
At least you've grasped onto something

Curl your toes, down frow you brows
I can't take your care it will ruin my self loathing fair
My self loathing fair x3

You get so tired of feeling nothing, so you reach into shallow waters, afraid to dive too deep
At least you've grasped onto something
