lyrics

The things you've said to me cut just beneath the skin.
Let's peel the layers back to try and make amends.
Tell me what you think you saw.
Was your line of sight that flawed?

Is this what you want?
A box of hearts to flaunt?

I sleep beside the phone for calls that never come.
I'm having lucid dreams as my senses start to numb.
It seems you've cursed me after all.
I'm the selfish serpent forced to crawl.

If I can't love my self,
then how can someone else?

I've always been a liar, I've always been a bastard,
and I'm only getting better with age.
I'm sorry that I'm thoughtless, I'm sorry about the darkness,
but the light was burning holes in my brain.
I'm sleeping in the gutter, just trying to make improvements,
while taking every part of blame.
I'm only getting better at losing my ambition,
because I know that you'd want it that way.

I'm just a wanderer who tried to play it safe.
My life's a wicked game, and I tried to play it straight.

Lonely is all I feel.
Lonely is all that's real.

You keep saying that I'm nothing, but the image of my father.
I'm sure that's way that you felt.
I know that I'm a sinner and I'll never get to heaven,
on account of us living in hell.
I keep writing all of these letters just to try and make it better,
but you're burning every word that I've sent.
I'll pack my shit in to a trash bag, and head back home to Jackson,
and I swear you'll never see me again.

I'm writing you out of my head.
